People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. See stickied post https://web.archive.org/save is an option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.

It can in some cases be beneficial to have a windowed graph like that. Most of the time I see one it is just misleading though.

I'd argue it's only useful when you have more than two data points. With only two, it's almost always going to be misleading in some way at a glance.
