“You don’t accomplish anything by posting” is such a ridiculous & boring take. I have learned so much from so many people on social media just from them posting. I have shared that information with others. We have changed our behaviors based on information to impact communities & ourselves.

I've met at least a dozen people on Twitter and Bluesky who've literally changed my life for the better. Being in a small town would be so much more limiting if not for these platforms.

It's the same logic with people who say "online friends don't count". OF COURSE THEY DO!

Yes! there's things that don't work/don't work as well remotely, but I've learned/been exposed to so many different perspectives & ideas in my 3 decades online. It has worth & is also "real life." + same for the folks who call reddit worthless; you just have to be critical abt with what you engage.

Posting has done a lot of good for me, to hash out my thoughts. But, I am getting more into the idea of 'presence', like, maybe at community meetings. I've been apathetic to politics for a long time, but there's a threat right now which I need to know where our local leaders stand.

In the absence of an optimal CDC, in the presence of systemic gaslighting – the pandemic is one of countless examples in which posting is taking care of each other

I didn't come here to accomplish things, I come here to see the gay little people who live in my phone say funny this. Everything else is just getting in the way and giving me hypertension.

Hell, even on the not serious side of it - shitposting & memes bring people joy. In the state of the world, every little ounce of joy counts.

Yes to all of this. I feel the same way about when people say "social media isn't real life". And I'm like, the hell it isn't!

Posting about adoption and finding community with other adoptees (and creating friendships irl as a result) has changed my life.
