PSA

'PSA:' — the prefix for an announcement the poster believes is important: a warning, a correction, a reminder to drink water. The record's entry for the broadcast from one person to everyone, and for the fact that most PSAs are opinions with a badge.

'PSA: it's Friday' from a colleague, in a work channel, on a Friday. The record notes the service was, technically, public.
