(Here, social media is defined as any site made primarily of profiles/blogs/etc that follow each other - a site centered around individuals-as-topic, as opposed to topics-as-topic like forums or Discord.)
I feel like the Big Sites tend to push us to think of social media as a place to... market ourselves? Even if we aren't artists or other people who depend on visibility for income, there's a pressure to post consistently, and post the right things, and in the right way so that we accumulate more likes/followers/etc. Make the number go up.
But there has to be more to social media than just that. So, I ask: why do you use social media? What do you think of your social media page/profile/etc as? A place to vibe with existing friends? A place to meet new ones? A place where you can post at length about your interests without worrying that you're imposing on people? And what do you want social media to be?
