if your online presence doesn't matter. Why do you feel the need to tell others how to use social media? it's almost like you're trying to control how people express themselves.

preach!!!! can we also stop acting like our followers are invested in our daily lives?

or are you just saying that because you've got a pretty curated feed?

But isn't it okay to expect some accountability for what you share online, even if you're just posting for fun?

same, but also, stop pretending like your curated feed isn't just as much of a performance

Totally agree, but also can we talk about how it's exhausting trying to curate this 'authentic' image online? Like, just be real and stop trying to impress strangers
