A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.
Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.
RULES:
- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
- Be nice. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements to private messages.
- No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

Anything that I care about enough for that is related to one of four things:
Broken tech.
Software or systems insufficient to the need, which stand in the way of either operations or profit (usually both).
Directly involved with vendor or client ops, and needs to be fixed for operations to continue.
Billing problems for clients or vendors which I cannot resolve on my own.
Everything else, I can send an email or ask in a channel, rather than a private IM.
How on earth are your colleagues supposed to know this from "hi"?! If there really is an urgent problem, actually say what it is. Why do you expect all your colleagues to deduce that 'hi' means "production is currently shut down, please help immediately"?
DON'T just say hi. Say what the problem is. Just saying 'hi' shows no respect whatsoever for your colleagues' time management.
These are not simple questions but high severity issues that need to be dealt with in a short timeframe. Slack doesn't seem like the right tool here, a dedicated process would work much better (like an incident system).
That being said, the point here is to include enough context in your initial message so that the other person can start thinking about it as soon as they see it, instead of having to wait for you to type it out.
This company desperately needs a ticketing system. I can't imagine getting interrupted by some entitled asshole who doesn't realize i don't exist to serve only them.
To people like this, my existence begins and ends with their call, those kind of people get shit work done for them and everyone talks about them behind their back.
