Greetings. Logistical request. Here on #Mastodon, when contacting me about any #Google-related issues, please (whenever you can) include a:
hashtag in the message/post -- ideally at the top. This will help me triage the various items that arrive.
Even better would be hashtags like:
#GoogleHelp
#GoogleQuestion
#GoogleIssue
#GooglePolicyor other specific tags, but any tags that will help me differentiate items more quickly would be much appreciated. Thanks! Best, -L
