I’m very picky about what online communities I choose to contribute to these days as well
I stopped using Instagram because it felt like a competition for likes and follows. Mostly, people who weren’t following my page liked my stuff and the people who were largely ignored it.
The reverse happens to me a lot. I’ve met people in real life at gigs and events over a four or five year period and they never kept in touch online. It was a one sided relationship which was frustrating.I don’t know why people act like that. We should raise each other up.
