#i gripe about my popular posts but it's just kvetching

[ballroomnotoriety]

continuously flummoxed by the people who get on a public social media site and make public posts and then...try to moderate who interacts with those posts further than just blocking the shitheads. unless you turn off reblogs or make a post private or have a password locked blog or do literally anything to personally take responsibility for containing your post, you sign a contract that says "if this thing breaks 45 notes you get idiots". them's the breaks! i do not understand people who seem to enjoy being stressed out monitoring every dumbass comment and tag on their 10k shitpost. ESPECIALLY when people get salty about fictional character tags on the fictional character website. there's a super easy way to avoid all of that and it's called "private blog" but there are some of y'all who like to do the online equivalent of standing in the cul-de-sac, shouting, and then gettin mad when the neighbors look at you.
