"weird twitter" is defined by the humor of a group, so them bringing it to our attention counts, but that dude in himself is just a diaper fetishist and not part of weird twitter
Who died and made you the president of weird twitter

What was the original MO of weird twitter? Was it just alienating people? I know there have been thinkpieces about this, but I'm never gonna read one.
― kaleb, Monday, 26 August 2013 22:50 (ten years ago) link
I think it was just dudes from a somethingawful board propagating their humor on a new medium

Occasionally you run into something that looks like Weird Twitter but really isn't. A selection of Twitter user https://twitter.com/rob_slash05 reveals a deeply malevolent intelligence wreaking havoc on Toronto, and one with no apparent understanding of the distinction between Twitter, email, and postal mail.

We've had a little bit of chatter about this on the Pronunciation Thread, maybe enough for a dedicated thread? Or maybe not, it'll be old news pretty soon.

Susan Orlean is also performing at the installation today, reportedly.
