Social Media Indentity

Social Media Identity

What’s that? I had to start a new social media profile, after ten plus years of having a profile in my name. You don’t say. You know the one.

I had a decent buying/selling rating on the place that was a market also. But alas, it’s all gone. Why? How the hell would I know. All I know is after a few hours on Insta I had found my sweet spot of definitely not real squirrels holding their mouths open at the side making very annoying noises like a child. Me sharing them to previously mentioned social media platform wanted me to sign into my profile using a picture of myself. Not particularly keen to use my actual face for anything I kept swiping as advised by my younger tech support. Apparently, you can only swipe so many times before. What’s that? It thinks you’re a bot for sharing so much AI generated content.

That guy whose initials start with Mark Zuckerberg deserves to be sued. The platform is encouraging AI everywhere and the moment some nuffer over shares this squirrel I get blocked.

And I’m only guessing this is the reason why. I did indeed appeal. It was rejected and there was no reason for why they then shut down my account.

I mean, I don’t love doing selfies, I don’t do filters, who gives a flying tutti fruiti if I wear make-up even. But here’s a recent effort at a comedy gig with one of my lovely assistants. I’m the one concentrating on trying to get us both in the frame. It did hurt and you can see how much I was concentrating on getting it done.

P.S. Shaming someone with their initials like that is a classic 2005 Shanism from my time working at Voldemort. I’ve been meaning to use it for a long time.

Punchline

So, continuing on about the whole Social Media thing, I think I just created a punchline to an old joke. Hear me out. Have you heard the one about?

A tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it?
Does it make a sound?

Then I confess, I forgot the next line and then a tree falls in the forest and lands on a mine, does anyone care?

Someone throws a comment out on Social Media and nobody likes or comments. Should I kill myself?

Ok, clearly not planning to kill myself, however people really take stuff seriously on Instagram and such, they really don’t cope if people don’t or can’t respond.

It escalated fast didn’t it?

I just think people should be strong, independent and learn to stand on their own two feet. Don’t be afraid to ask for help of course, but be strong in your convictions, learn, be educated. Have your own opinion.

You can listen to other people’s opinions, but have your own first. It’s also OK to change your mind, however only after you have all the facts.

Social Media

Ok, I think I made a joke, let’s see if you agree or just hear me out. Tell me your thoughts please.

You know the whole Social Media thing everyone else is on? That I am not. People on Instragram, Twitter and the like.

Yes, yes, I do have a blog and I did eventually get on board the Facey-thingy. Reluctantly.

But it seems some people only have conversations if they are being shared with 5,000 followers and of whom want to be in on the conversation, concentrate on other people’s comments and spread the hate.

I know I sound old, when I say some people are more interested in other people’s opinions than actually watching a documentary, or such to learn about it from the horse’s mouth (so to speak) than make up their own minds.

I’ve come to the conclusion, maybe people would rather communicate with people they don’t know, because they might live around the world from them and not in close proximity (is this safer?) or because they share a mind-set?

Because I guess there is the whole catfish thing. FYI I really am now a 46-year-old single barren spinster living in Melbourne Australia, advocating to/for people with brain injuries, with a cat.
