As a former redditor I am glad to have found a new "home" and I hope I'm not intruding. Nevertheless, we are all a huge migration that is bound to change how kbin works and we're bound to piss off some pre-migration Keebinetters. The fact you guys were here before and not in reddit makes evident you don't want this to become a carbon copy of reddit. From the interface to the group dynamics, please lets us now...

What can we do NOT to ruin kbin for you?

I was mostly there for hobby sobs and I never understood: what WAS black people twitter?

Essentially, Black Twitter is its own sub-section of Twitter that became prevalent around 2013 as a higher amount of non-white Americans online used Twitter. A lot of tweets involve humour relating to African-American Culture and commentary on systemic issues. The Wikipedia for Black Twitter has a decent overview of how it developed and its impact on social media. The subreddit was then made as a hub to share the funny, relatable, or insightful tweets from that section of Twitter. I hope that is a useful answer, I am a white Australian so my summary is based on what other people closer to that community have said.
