What are your social media icks?

Question

A couple of mine are:

When people post that they've checked into an ER or hospital. Umm... focus on getting better.
When people overshare about their personal lives and/or current drama they're going through.

For these reasons, I unfollow people who do this. In my opinion, there here are certain things that you don't share on social media. >__<

I have one more ick.

When people announce that they've deleted several people off of their friends' list and, if you're seeing the status, you "made it.'" Like... okay? -____-

I've got a lot of problems with you people! And now, you're gonna hear about'em!

Constant inflammatory and emotionally-charged political spamming (though that's more regarding Facebook, especially if it can be easily fact-checked). I understand that it's the nature of the beast, but there are some people on my friends list who will post obnoxiously irresponsible and uninformed garbage and then when I say something, their other followers come back with the "you dirty fascist, you look like someone who'd be wearing a brown shirt in 1930s Germany", "you asking for specifics is literal... whatever-I-don't-likeism!"
Posting about family or relationship drama (and I don't mean "please pray for us" or something; more sharing intimate details that we don't want or need to know)
On that note, when guys will post something like "Why do women hate me? I'm ugly, why don't girls date me?"
More a Catholic thing, but I don't particularly like it when on Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, Catholics will take photos of the ashes they just received and post them on social media. Y'know, one of those "He must increase, I must decrease" kind of things...
When conspiracy theorists deny that Die Hard is a Christmas movie
Posting entire selfie albums from vacations, concerts, or something. Shouldn't you be, you know, enjoying the thing?
On that note, mirror selfies.
Girls, don't post beach or pool photos. Especially if you complain about guys objectifying women and such.

I think I've said enough for now, yes?

Social media IS my ick , even though I detest the use of “icks” PERIOD !

Regardless of any technical definition I don’t consider GAG social media but it does share some features.

* I have it for the few people who make me laugh and or offer insightful opinions and perspectives
* some people post utter nonsense
* thirsty & desperate people almost begging for attention

When they are rich but they deflect their nepo baby status with "I get no freedom" and "I paid my fee with my partner time job" LIKE. BRO. THANK YOU FOR ROBBING A POOR PERSON OFF JOB OPPORTUNITIES. You could have just used your savings or pocket money lmao

When people constantly post their "happy family" life. Like I get it you're obnoxiously happy, you don't have to make a daily post about it. It comes off ungenuine.

Pumpkinpie222 · Answer

Anyone who records themself crying, ambiguous memes/posts, medical attention seeking posts. You can usually tell when it’s for dramatic reasons vs genuine “this is my life, I’m here to share and help others”. Women who post fishing for compliments.

I used to have this one friend who would post, "leave a message or a picture" or whatever her prompt was, "to prove you're still my friend or you might get deleted." After the 6th or 7th one of these that I'd seen on her page (which I never posted to), I finally wrote back, if you think posting a comment proves someone is your friend, then I'm not sure you really know what real friends are. They are the ones that actually show up for you when s**t gets real, not they were bored, happened to see your post, and had the time between working/school/family to put a like or a comment on your post.

She stopped posting those.

Mine is basically women w no talent who just post pics of their ass. Shaking their ass, acting slutty. It gets annoying. Of course I like women but at the same time all these dudes thirsting over these women who they will most likely never get to be w are just enabling it by following them. Then men wonder why a lot of women have that mentality of being showered w gifts or money just for being women.

bobalife · Answer

strong politics that’s making the world or humanity worse… misogyny… mental health stigma… women against women… or any disrespectful related things. I’m just not about negative energy.

MuddyMole · Answer

Using social media at all.
I don't know anyone who actually posts anything on their social media any more - they're only used for direct messaging and in the case of facebook, buying and selling on the marketplace.

beenherebefore · Answer

Mine is posting stories every single day. Sharing cryptic messages when they're going through something. Posting about their relationship. Posting sexy/provocative pictures when you're in a relationship.

I also find the ER pictures cringe AF! Revolting. A person who's truly sick and going through health issues will never share that on social media, you're just looking for attention.

I quit social media one year ago and it was such a good decision I do not regret at all.

molonski2 · Answer

Agree with you pretty much  It's not for living your complete life , people who share problems with their wife , husband , girl friend , that really annoys me.

Drama... attention seeking... braggarts. I think that covers my icks I don't have time for my own shit so, fuck all if I give a shit about what they had for dinner or their new house.

TiffanySpooky · Answer

“Focus on getting better.” 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I’m so dead

But I guess my social media Icks…. When people are obviously rage mating. For example, if somebody saying something offensive or they do something purposely, so stupid that it makes people want to comment on the video. That really drives me crazy and especially drives me crazier when people fall for it. I don’t like going on TikTok and seeing that every video is someone trying to sell something.

JammedMachine · Answer

Is it just me or does the face of the person on the operating table in this picture look like a black woman, and the arm making the peace sign look like the arm of a white man?

What kind of surgery is this? An arm transplant? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
