The absolute worst part of social media for me is the weird parasociality about it.
Like, I'll follow someone because they say something interesting, or talk about stuff I'm interested in, then I follow their interesting follows, then it eventually stops being just about their interesting things and starts being about their general lives then suddently someone's friend says something wild that *at least* borders on antisemitic or some shit and everybody goes wild and I'm like twenty posts deep reading reskeets and quote tweets and screenshots of toots that are all removed from context and I'm like
I don't even *know* these people. I don't even toot at them or whatever! I just passively consume their public persona and now I feel terrible because Im emotionally invested in some random person who I don't talk to or knows did a terrible post?
just fuk sake.
What's worse is this feels like the *intended use case* of social media, creating these bizzare emotionally parasitic connections with each other, where ultimately everyone loses.
Except m y friends on here. I think you're all lovely and should have a wonderful day.
High fives and hugs all round! :3
these are deeply unserious people who live vicariously in #parasocial relationships with #celebrities and only know #popCulture posing
such dim, shallow people (or alternatively and innocently: children, but that's even worse in terms of them being targeted by this shit) can be worked over for the #indoctrination pipeline into #farRight #hate
it's like targeting #antivaxxers or #flatEarthers:
"ah, a complete moron, they can be made into a zombie #MAGA voter via #socialMedia"
(11/N) A fourth category of adversaries:
Intruders
#Intruders want to ignore your #boundaries at will, and their related actions to be unrestricted and without repercussions, for as long as possible. Additionally, satisfaction might be derived from any ineffective responses to their actions.
Controlling your assets at will, and having unrestricted access to them is their goal. Some are fantasizing about a relationship with you that would somehow entitle them to it. Sometimes, their actions include damaging, or destruction of, your assets, to inflict suffering upon you, or for revenge, or to gain notoriety.
This is a wide category that includes attention-getters; #narcissists and #stalkers; abusive, vengeful and jealous people; starstruck individuals seeking #parasocial interaction; thrill seekers; script kiddies; "OSINT" wannabees; swatters; vandals; and sometimes even potential employers.

@viticci I’m growing genuinely concerned about one of these people. Someone who’s so concerned about “being right points” as to avoid trying to understand the situation. And demonstrates blatant #ethnocentrism.
What you describe may not be too dissimilar to Solnit’s keen insight about *splaining.
Unlike you, I haven’t had personal interactions with this character so it’s #Parasocial empathy.
@ophiocephalic i have actually muted/blocked him before when the meta conversation started. He has some decent takes but oh my god when it comes to meta..
His community is a warning towards #parasocial relationships on #fedi for me.
