      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!
