I’m often afraid to share or post on social media because people are quick to judge and start rumors or make fun. But the initial idea of social media was to connect people. However, now we’re more disconnected than ever. Between religion and opinions and ideas, etcetera. It’s hard to even express your own experiences without someone saying you’re a bad person, not knowing what you’ve gone through.
But I think that if you feel like spreading and spouting hate speech, racism, ignorance and negativity, then that says a lot about you and what you have to contribute to society and conversations.
The people putting out content have a voice, and they should be able to share that. It’s not one-sided, where only the receivers of content can judge and disagree and say offensive things.
I’m not sure what kind of online persona I have to other people, but they (you guys) should get to know me more- my thoughts, feelings, and experiences. So one of my goals is to be more transparent with my followers and friends that view my social media.
