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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Be nice. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements to private messages.
  7. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

I got $100 and a video from a bunch of dead-eyed execs I've never seen before in my entire life thanking me for all the hard work that I do. I'd almost have rather just gotten nothing at all.

I got nothing, can I have your $100?

[–] Biskii@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 1 year ago

You can send me the $100 and the video if it's that big of a deal

the video is so funny to me. showing a canned response to an employee they've never met has me in hysterics

It was so eerily dystopian. Telling me how much they appreciate me and how valued I am as an employee, as their eyes trail from side to side while they read the prompter.

suits buy into the corpo crap so hard

it's just amazing that they can convince themselves into thinking that a video like that would make your day

My direct manager gives out lottery scratch-off tickets at the winter holiday party. Last year I won $5.
