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.

This is probably rage bait TBH.

since this is required..I'm sure the position involves some type of social media presence on insta and tiktok

I’ve had first-hand accounts of in-person interviewers turning their laptops to the interviewee and asking them to log in to their social media accounts.

I’ve also had first person accounts of interviewees laughing and leaving immediately.

As would any sane person

I couldn't imagine having that happen. I would leave so fast, but not before telling them what a waste of fucking time this had been.

"Required" doesn't mean you have to provide account credentials. It just means you have a provide a string of characters to complete the form. None or / are strings of character.

Well since we are picking nits, it could be that the form checks in real time and won't accept a non-existent account name.

But yeah, the red asterisks are disconcerting.

That level of automation in an HR form is a pipe dream

If this happened, this would be my cue to withdraw my application: that's one employer I wouldn't want to work for.

Doing social media isn't yet a legal requirement, so whoever makes it a requirement for employment can fuck right off.

I wonder how safe they are from SQL injection...

I don't have a tiktok and I think I deleted my Instagram because I never use it and they were sending me email. I'm betting those aren't the only two services they ask about. You could enter None for each but seems like if they're asking for these, they're going to take a lack of answers as a strike against you and probably reject the application.

So best to reject the job listing first
