Copy-paste template
Grateful post: [Name] — thank you. Context: [Why they mattered — 2 lines] What they did that mattered: • [Specific action] • [Specific action] Most people don't see [behind-the-scenes effort]. I wanted to say it publicly. If you're not following [Name], you should — especially for [topic]. Tag someone who helped you this month 👇 I'll go first: [optional second tag]
Field notes
Tag the person. Specificity beats 'thanks for everything'. Avoid performative gratitude — one real story.
