Yes, it kind of is hypocritical to ask this on a social media platform, but what do you guys get out of it?

    For me, it’s nice to share information and have light, friendly interactions. I don’t care for engaging in online conflicts or debates. That kind of stuff adds unnecessary stress to my life that I don’t want.

    As far as SM with my real identity, like IG: It’s nice updating friends and family about life events. Sometimes I post silly things. Stuff like engagement doesn’t bother me bc it’s not about having a popularity contest.

    But in particular, I like posting highlights as they happen throughout the year. My memory (for dates, especially!) isn’t that great, so this lets me scroll through in chronological order and quickly see what I’ve been up to. It’s sort of like keeping a picture diary.
