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.

Coworker: Hi

Me: [Waits for more info, nothing comes.]

Me: Hello

Coworker: So

[Several seconds pass]

Coworker: What's up with that file from yesterday?

Me: [Waits for more info, nothing comes.]

Me: Which file

[No response for literally 10 minutes]

Coworker: The one we sent to client B

Me: [Rather than keep trying to extract information, search through history and find file which was sent to client B yesterday, find nothing obviously wrong with it, and it was nothing to do with me anyway]

Me: [Sends link to file] You mean this one?

[5 minutes pass]

Coworker: NM I figured it out. Thanks!


My other favourite is the coworker who does the same thing but instead of saying hey types "Pssst" and if you don't respond within about 5 seconds they start sending GIFS of people knocking on doors and stuff.

If anyone says hi to me I literally just ignore them until they say something actionable.

It's great because if they ever complain about it I can just say, oh I was busy so didn't immediately follow up and they never ever specified what they wanted.

I've thankfully never experienced that last one, but that is heinous. I would actually engage to tell them not to do that.
