6. I would be totally cool with someone posting the tweet and not the link

otherwise, it seems like the poster is just re-directing you to another group.

Is it difficult to copy paste from a tweet? I didn't think that would be a problem.

Is it cool to re-direct to other 'chats' that are un-Democratic?

This seems to be a cheat around all the rules that keep this place civil.

Sowing division.

What's the protocol on posting tweets? or any links with hate content? [View all]	floppyboo	Mar 2019	OP
Pretty much any prominent Democrat who tweets gets vile hateful comments	emulatorloo	Mar 2019	#1
I wasn't talking about tweets from prominent Democrats. Tweets from this DU community	floppyboo	Mar 2019	#4
Yes see my third paragraph above.	emulatorloo	Mar 2019	#19
Context is everything...	hlthe2b	Mar 2019	#2
yes - following the link. Not doing it anymore. Was too sad and mean!	floppyboo	Mar 2019	#3
that's why the admins made it possible to embed tweets. Stick with those posts that do, I guess.	hlthe2b	Mar 2019	#5
explain please. So if there is just a link, but no text, that is ok and embedded?	floppyboo	Mar 2019	#8
Here is a post of my own that includes an embedded tweet	hlthe2b	Mar 2019	#11

It is content on DU which is juried not content elsewhere.	hlthe2b	Mar 2019	#7
so if the content is posted to DU, then it can be juried here? nt	floppyboo	Mar 2019	#10
If what is posted breaks the TOS rules for the site, yes, but again context is everything.	hlthe2b	Mar 2019	#13
what about deriding LW comments against some Dems?	floppyboo	Mar 2019	#14
well, it is against the rules to attack (not just criticize) but attack DEMS, but I'd try to be sure	hlthe2b	Mar 2019	#15
But this is exactly the problem I'm having!	floppyboo	Mar 2019	#16
Well, you could include some posts/links to recent posts in a question to 'Ask the Administrators'	hlthe2b	Mar 2019	#17
I have asked a # of questions. 2 months and waiting...	floppyboo	Mar 2019	#18
If people don't remove the "mobile." from the link, they just get the link, not	tblue37	Mar 2019	#9
this makes sense to me, as I don't have a phone and have to go through some steps	floppyboo	Mar 2019	#12
Is the new question in the age of twitter: What is a moderated site?	floppyboo	Mar 2019	#20
You want to be in a bubble? Do you think that is possible? Do you think that is wise?	PeeJ52	Apr 2019	#27
maybe, well not maybe, there should be a forum where all tweets are posted nt	msongs	Mar 2019	#21
I like that idea!	floppyboo	Mar 2019	#23
Let DU members decide.	Ptah	Mar 2019	#22

great question. i hope we get an answer. k & r	Kurt V.	Apr 2019	#26
I'm not understanding... Do we not want to comment on what they post? Do we not want to...	PeeJ52	Apr 2019	#28
Ya - that's part of what I'm talking about	floppyboo	Apr 2019	#29
In my opinion, that's a bad rule. It's usually enforced by mob rule...	PeeJ52	Apr 2019	#30
thanks for the insights.	floppyboo	Apr 2019	#32
