Twitter proved that it’s a community like none other, with nearly all of the top moments reflecting some of the most devastating points of the year. Yet, through it all, we've found a way to remind each other of the importance of hope.
Together, the online community did a lot in 2017. And if the most shared tweets prove anything, it’s that we found a way to spread love—which is pretty amazing. (And then, of course, there's the chicken nugget guy…)
