What goes through their minds when they post/comment shit like this?

u/SpitefulHammer 15h ago

I think they think it's a direct message. So to answer your question - not a lot.

u/ye_old_hermit 12h ago

Seems accurate with my other relatives. Especially the older ones.

Kinda explains why Facebook is mostly inhabited by older, more tech-illiterate people (not that it's inherently a bad thing or anything)

u/Pilkyton1 11h ago

Older people think social media is a place to converse while younger people think it’s a place to showcase your life

Why am I on Reddit conversing with people? Am I old, ALEXA HELP!!

u/gravygrowinggreen 41m ago

comments are for conversing, or insulting the OP.

OPs are for showcasing your life and getting insulted in the comments.

It's both so I guess everybody wins? Is this those participation awards the young ones are getting?

Just completely no comprehension of how any of it works. They can’t seem to differentiate a private message from a text from an email from a forum post from a social media post, etc. That’s why you’ll see them make a generic Facebook post addressing basically the world, saying something like Diane have you seen my mittens?

u/Zytherman1 9h ago

They think the post online is directly aimed at them. It’s the same as people who get those Amazon emails to answer a question a customer has asked and they respond with “I don’t know”, they think Jeff bezos himself personally asked them

You know how children think the whole world revolves around them? Some people never grow out of this, or they do but regress with old age

I really think that they think everything that comes across their screen is meant only for them and that a response is needed and wanted. It’s insane. I’ve had to block some of my old neighbors… recently I posted a picture that indicated I was in a certain town, and one of my fb contacts commented something to the effect of “oh you’re in town, do you want to be on my podcast (because I had been on it in the past) and this old ass neighbor who I barely even know responds to the person like “yes I would.” Like WHAT?! You don’t know this person, you don’t know what their podcast is, it’s a comment on MY picture, and you think they’re asking you because it’s on your screen. I’m sorry but what is the excuse for that stupidity? That’s beyond “not being used to this newfangled technology!” Shouldn’t you know MORE because you’ve been on earth longer? Sometimes it’s just funny and sometimes I’m like…genuinely what is wrong with you

My grandmother had trouble understanding that not everything on Facebook was directed at her specifically. I am not entirely sure why she struggled with this, but she did. It wasn't even a cognitive decline thing, she didn't get confused about other stuff.

u/Cyclone_Eyes 13h ago

I think they are effing with OP or possibly drunk posting.
