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. ;)

    Right, and people do what they want. Just seems quite contrarian that zealous vilification of something isn’t viewed with as much despise as the subject being vilified. It’s behavior that seems to have carried over from other platforms. “Don’t just beat a dead horse, start a viral social media campaign then profit off the merchandising from it too!”
