Bad internet etiquette
#23925317 - 12/14/16 09:17 AM (7 years, 1 month ago) |

Petty rant, but it drives me fucking MAD!!!! It's most common on social media and people who I know in the real world rather than randoms. A few of them have copied/recreated several of my instagram posts. I wouldn't even mind this if they acknowledged my posts first. I don't like the idea of people watching my posts without communicating with me/acknowledging them. It's creepy. However, as I know them in rl, deleting/blocking them would be kind of awkward. One person even copied one of my captions exactly word for word. It's not their lack of originality that makes me the most annoyed, it's their rudeness. At least give me some credit if you're going to pinch my ideas/posts/thoughts.
Now someone has just posted the exact same article I posted on FB without even acknowledging my post first. Boils my fucking piss!

And whilst I'm on one, people who use social media to constantly post pictures of THEMSELVES.
It's the height of narcissism and not in the slightest bit interesting, no matter how attractive someone is. It just makes them look extremely ugly and self-centred/ desperate/shallow.

Isn't self-absorption the premise behind that stuff in the first place?

Only if you're a self-absorbed sheep, which seems to be most of the population.

If you have a good idea someone will take it. Is a simple fact of life. People are lying pieces of shit. That's why we have copyrights and patents.

Nah, it wouldn't really. They sound like people you don't even particularly care for anyway. Why do you have everyone you know watching your online actions in the first place? Like you said, you don't even interact with them. Lots of people do this these days without even thinking about it and it just makes no sense to me. I'LL BE YOUR PRETEND FRIEND IN EXCHANGE FOR YOUR SURVEILLANCE!!
Anyway, if it was me I'd just make fun of them for copying my posts and being that desperate for attention.

They're good points. Social media is all a bit weird and creepy. I mainly use instagram to post my photography. It's turned into a little hobby recently. I like sharing my photos with strangers more than the people I know. Conversely, it only seems to be the people I don't know in real life that have any etiquette.
So yeah, I don't particularly care for these acquaintances, but I do see a few of them around uni, so deleting/blocking them would feel a bit awkward, especially as one of them is in my research group.

No more good looking than I am. I'd say uglier in fact, because of her vanity.

social media like facebook exist and flourish because it's a natural part of the human condition to want to share with others about one's successes and things alike. some people get wholly absorbed into it, sure.

Its the internet so people copy and paste all the time. Half of the articles I see on shroomery are copy and pasted by users reading a article on HuffingtonPost, buzzfeed, or a random website.

Is it narcissist to post tons of selfies on instagram? I think it is, but maybe I'm missing something. Maybe narrcisissm is becoming socially acceptable.
I frequent instagram cause its a part of my work, and my account is following a lot of people who I know IRL and a chunk of them are female, and a good portion of those just post selfies all day, and yeah they're hot... but it's like, come on, how many more selfies are going to post? youre practically farming instagram likes, with hella dudes commenting with love hearts in the comments, its gross, its clear that these chicks are obsessed with themselves more than anything else, and their IG behavior has degraded the respect that I've had for them.
Not to mention the rant post selfies, where they post angry selfies of themselves with a rant in the post description about female inequality or how too many men are evil, and they get 300 likes and it's just fucking terribad in my opinion.
