The problem with Facebook is that you are usually talking to a very broad audience. You have to tailor what you say so that neither Casually Racist Uncle Jim nor Guy Who Posts Marxist Memes will be angry at you, and so that Your Boss won't see anything embarrassing.
I'd believe that habit of thought could transfer to offline life, e.g. worrying about getting caught at a strip club, as per the paper.
- muninn_ 10y agoYeah I just don't see it
- headShrinker 10y agoJust knowing my self I don't post a lot of gay stuff on my feed even if it's inane because there so many straight people who just wouldn't associate. Most of my content has a universal appeal by design. This is the same for most, which explains the high rate of dog/cat, baby, food and vacation pics on fb. They are safe universal topics that everyone can "like". After "likes" are the currancy we are trading
- bogomipz 10y agoI agree with all of your points and there is also the downside risk that one of that "broad audience" is going to leave some appalling or just cringe-worthy comment about your post. And unless you check up on FB regularly that association is just hanging out there. When I used FB I found that I had to go an do "maintenance" to untag photos and delete cringe-worthy comments from people I am not even really friends with. I don't miss having FB at all.
