#TIL that #changemanagement, a methodology for creating buy in for a change, can be used as a weapon on employees.
Took me 20 years as a change management professional before I figured it out; I found that out because it was used on me.
#ReadTheRoom
I mean, look at the comment section of the Announcement Video:
People go apeshit on #Valve being able to "#ReadTheRoom":
- 'You own that hardware!'
- no mention of "#AI"
- no mention of #Subscriptions
- no mention of other bullshit
- 'Play as YOU want!'
- 'It just works!'
Tho I guess people will be disappointed the "#GabeCube" aka. #SteamMachine (2nd Gen) won't be a $499 box and neither will the #SteamFrame aka. "#VirtualGabe" and even the #SteamController aka. "#WaveGabe" will be over $99 simply because #Valve ain't gonna have the money to preorder like 10M before #launch, and also "AI" is driving price hikes for #RAM and #Flash...
Scotiabank have just sent me a message offering me the chance of a holiday in Florida, if only I complete their marketing survey.
Fresh Direct today sporting the NYY jersey motif again. Really? no ability to regionalize these things?!?!?
Ahhh…. As ever. The peace and quiet of the airline lounge shattered by the cacophony of Americans asking each other where they’re from and how many European cities they’ve crammed into their five day visit. 🙄 #ReadTheRoom
@danione wtf? #GoAway #spam #advertising #ReadTheRoom
“About 30-45 minutes later, the president stopped standing and his grin has slowly faded into a half-smile as he appeared to be drifting off.” I didn’t see any fading enthusiasm from the millions of #NoKings protesters yesterday. #HappyBirthday Mr. Trump. #ReadTheRoom #NoKingsNoCrown 2/2
It's funny that the White House sees the Amazon Tariff proposal as "hostile". They should see it as an easy way to make sure Americans buy American. No tariffs... it's made in America. Simple.
Driving around Las Vegas today, I pulled up next to a car that had one of those business signs on the side of the car: Residential and Commercial Snow Removal #readtheroom #snow #lost #what #NobutSeriously #car #advertising
I don't know about you guys, but I would have been super suspicious as soon as Judas invited me to a meal called "The Last Supper" #ReadTheRoom
I receive emails from all kinds of companies and by and large most of the Canadian companies are sensitive to the political reality and are changing their messages to address the desire of people not wanting to visit the USA.
So, how do you shame a #Canadian company like #Telus ?
I received an email and they are offering deals for roaming USA Travel Passes.
Plus, limited time offer - USA Travel Pass 7-day for only $40.
Tried to follow BBC News (via Flipboard) but there’s only so much football “top news” I can give a rat’s ass about (and that’s precisely none). No filterable hashtags? No follow. #ReadTheRoom
Excelente pregunta, @NaTX, asombrosamente dentro de este sistema mastodonico de aparentes comentarios fuera de contexto, ay una solucion "fascinante" al respecto.
Comunmente te la "encajan" de rezongo cuando menos lo esperas y te deja con un gusto amargo.
Le dicen:
#readTheRoom!
Y es probablemente, o quizas, #mastoSplaining par excelance.
Significa, minimamente:
"Lee el hilo especifico del mensaje."
Si tu visitas el tut inicial de @satire, un perfil que por cierto es un grupo, un #foroComunitario de la plataforma #friendica, ves todas las respuestas que llegaron a tu instancia, o sea mastodon.uy en este caso.
Si @NaTXa se fijara en su perfil alla, quizas estaria viendo otra parte de todo lo que ay, incluso probablemente todas las respuestas publicamente visibles.
Si visitas la pagina originaria del perfil que inicio la conversacion, puede que veas todos los commentarios publicamente visibles o una version currada por dicho perfil.
En esta ocasion, selecciona el comentario que @jesuisatire te dejo directamente y veras, si es que commento bien, justamente encima, el commentario al que se refiere.
Y todos los comentarios de ahi para arriba vendrian ser:
la habitacion, la barra, la mesa (de poker), llama lo como quieres, en el Wendy's de @ Satire.
Eso si, entiende de que "la habitacion" que estas obervando tu, siempre sera un pedazo del contexto en el fediVerso, asi que "read the room" es casi una estupidez, o al menos un poco soberbio quizas.
Depende del contexto, como siempre.
#APP's for the decentralized #fediVerse
#friendica your very own #newsPaper #desktop profile to #readTheRoom.
The #mastodonChatAPP's for your your cellphone #Raccoon #fediLab #relatica

Basically I use #friendica from #desktop @julien, and due to it's powerful options "under the hood" I recommend to become familiar with that layout too @sirber.
Not sure if #Raccoon is designed exclusively for friendica but I do know that @hankg's #relatica is, apparently there is even some desktop version too.
Actually if I had to choose only one platform as an option for each kind of #fediVerse screenView use case, I'd choose friendica for desktop and mastodon for cellphone every time. #Decentralization calls nearly by default for more than one profile and microblogging is for a handy screen while desktop is for #newsPaper like edition of content. And friendica is a little bit like that.
Your very own #newsPaper site in the internet.
That way your mastodon profile becomes your #chatAPP and your friendica profile on the desktop that follows your #mastodonChatAPP profile gets every conversation pushed into the stream in a brilliant page view to #readTheRoom.
PSA: if I tell you your attitude is disgusting (and strongly imply it's fascist adjacent), the correct reaction is NOT to stalk my profile and throw a bunch of likes in my direction. Jeez #readtheroom
#fediTips around @satire for our #fediMarketers in #germanEverything
#mastoDon, the place of finite improbability in the #fediVerse of decentralized restaurants where you can #readTheRoom, stay at the bar, play at some table or reply to a floating comment in a never ending stream of snippet's.
#decentralizeYourLife, cause that's the #singularityPoint in #spaceAndTime where #walledPlants never get invited to the party.
Did you know that #theFutureIsFederated @_elena?
@XeroLinux Announcing your late arrival to the fascists' clubhouse is not the marketing flex you think it is.
