Since we've all had to rework any word referencing Twitter for obvious reasons, I suppose.
"Posting" is fine, all the dumb "toots" and "skeets" are not. If you're trying to salvage "vaguetweeting" I suppose that is a semi-reasonable outcome. I don't think it works quite as well for subtweeting, though.
What the hell is vaguetweeting though?
Vagueposting istthe replacement word. It means posting about someone or a situational without being precise about the person or event
Like. ... "Wishing some people would mind their own business". Or "Life can be really hard sometimes, but you've got to push through". With no context, or explanation. Basically seeking attention or sympathy.
Kinda like that yes, but often a bit more specific to a situation, like the example the OP mentioned "an ableist tried to make small talk about the weather" etc.
Half the time it isn't even that clear what they are posting about.
That's jus tweeting in general.
Also, I realize the resulting confusion means this was technically "vaguing"/vagueposting itself. Recursion!
Tweeting vaguely / Vaguely tweeting.
I don't know what a vaguetweet is either, but that's fucking gross too
What about using the word "tweet" to refer to a post in any microblogging platform
I could live with that, but... I mean, "post" is right there. And with the lines blending over time between "microblogging", this more forum-like pseudo-reddit thing, Instagram-style image-centered posts... I just don't know that the per-platform distinction is worth it anymore, with or without the Twitter nonsense.
