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 an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
  8. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

I'm hiring right now, and we can't get anywhere. We're just flooded with thousands of fake, ai generated candidates we can hardly sift through the noise.

What do you think would help differentiate a real candidate from slop noise? Calling, coming in person?

Many can be weeded out by looking into it a bit. Many by following up and it's literally not a real person. The phone number they give for an interview is a voip number is a big hint we've found.

Some will have a real person show up to the interview, but it's not the person from the application.

Folks are using AI to just submit hundreds of different applications to each opening with generated personas and fielding any callback. Many of them seem to be in another countries.

The noise is so bad we're removing the post and switching to only personal recommendations or recruiter leads. It's wild right now. AI has ruined everything?
