If we're really concerned about this being a protocol and not a platform, what's with all the posturing? (self.general)

Social media posturing refers to the act of presenting oneself on social media in a way that is intended to impress others and create a certain image or impression. This can involve carefully curating the content one shares, such as pictures, statuses, and likes, in order to portray a specific lifestyle or persona.

This is a common phenomenon as social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn are often seen as a stage to perform our ideal selves.

No need to virtue signal, friends. There's no stage. ;)

We live in times where what matters the most is not the message content, but on how loud it is.
