SEC15 WK1: "Life on Social Media"
I am excited and waiting to participate in the Steemit engagement challenge season15 week1. Finally, I am going to start this season with #steem4nigeria Community. I am here to publish my article on this week's engagement challenge with the title - "Life on Social Media" Let's start,
I am from Bangladesh and here the most famous social media platform is FACEBOOK. 85% of people in this country use this platform, so my answers to all these questions will focus on Facebook. Now, come to the point that I support our daily lives should be put up on social media all the time. My opinion is no, I don’t support this. My explanation of why we shouldn’t put our lives on social media all the time:
Privacy: I consider social media as a medium for communication with friends and family but when it comes to sharing our daily lives all the time then it can be dangerous for us. I can explain it better with an example: There is a person who shared all his life details on social media including his daughter's school location, the time he usually dropped his daughter at school, and when he took her home. In a word, he shared every single detail. One day his daughter got kidnapped from the school and after a long investigation report, it proved that this happened because of sharing everything on social media. The kidnapper stocked his account and collected information about them. So, with is example we can understand, how dangerous it can be to share our daily lives on social media all the time.
Waste of time: Sharing everything on social media took a lot of time. If sharing your activities is a source of your earnings then it is okay to share. If it is not then it’s a complete waste of time.
Make others frustrated: There are different sections of society in social media. Not everyone has the same lifestyle, these platforms have high-class people as well as low-class people. Many are impressed and disappointed when someone from a high-class family presents his daily lifestyle to everyone.
There are also many other reasons why I don't support sharing everything in our daily life on social media all the time.
Have you ever experienced or seen any case where a person has the habit of showcasing his life on social media and the effects turned out well?
I've seen many people showcase their lives on social media and the effects end up being bad. While the effect is good for many people temporarily, it worsens after some time. I know many social media influencers who present everything about their personal life on social media. By doing this they get temporary fame, followers, and money but after some time their normal life is disrupted. Many suffer from privacy crisis, many succumb to cyberbullying. Most social media persons are badly hurt by cyberbullying. So I think, the effects of showcasing life on social media turned out worst.
Do you think all the showcases on social media are true?
This is a good question to answer. I think 99% of the shows on social media are showoff, fake, and pseudo. I think what people showcase on social media is exactly the opposite of real life. People always try to look happy and prosperous on social media platforms. But I will not say that all information shared on social media is false. Many people share various achievements in their lives on social media which inspires other users. However, if you look at history, it can be seen that many people have been deceived by the lies of the media.
Do you feel safe on Steemit with your information? What can you say about Steemit
Yes, I feel safe on Steemit with my information. The Steemit platform is different from other social media like Facebook, WhatsApp, Messenger, and Viber. So I think my information is more safe than that social media platform on Steemit platform. Also, one of the main reasons is that lies and any kind of corruption are less common on the Steem platform.
I feel my information is safe on this platform because I do all the community-based work on this platform so every community people feels like their own. Also, we do not share plagiarism or false information written by others on Steemit, so I claim that my information and that of all users of this platform are safe.
@pea07 Your points about the time-consuming nature of sharing everything and the impact on others emotions especially in a diverse society add depth to your argument. The recognition that not everyone has the same lifestyle and that showcasing can lead to frustration is well-articulated...
Upvoted. Thank You for sending some of your rewards to @null. It will make Steem stronger.
Greetings,
we should protect the privacy of our personal life. Social media on the contrary reveals my secrets. Many of us check in our location, it can be dangerous at any time. As you said many are victims of cyberbullying here. Many comment sections prove it. The truth is that 90% of the tempting information published on social media is false. How true is what we publish on social media? Best wishes to you.
Dear sister,
I am impressed to read your post, the two terms you have adopted as social media is Facebook, you have mentioned three important things on Facebook, which I like more and I agree with them,
You have also given examples of how keeping secrets is a waste of time and a means of letting others down, which happens all the time. Nice to read your post, stay well, wish you all the best in this competition.
Well said dear.
I noticed that many people this day tend to showcase their life on social media which can attract so many dangers.
While others use it for many dubious activities and fraudulent acts..
Yiu have said well and i wish you the best in this challenge
@pea07
Glad to know that about 85 percent of people in your country are using social media platform that is Facebook which is to stay connected with other people constantly and many other WhatsApp social media. Messenger and many other apps through which we can stay online with each other, stay attached, stay in touch with each other, etc. Your activity is great, I learned a lot from the post and always progressing. do it
Sharing our personal life on social media means risking our privacy to the public. It is good we use social media for communication just as you have said. Success to you friend.

Hello! 🌟
I loved your article about life on social media. You definitely touched on very important and real points!
The story about privacy and the potential danger of sharing too many details on social media is truly impactful. What a way to illustrate the importance of being cautious about what we share!
And that point about the time wasted by constantly sharing on social media is so true. It's easy to fall into the time trap and lose sight of what really matters!
Your perspective on the long-term effects of showcasing life on social media is also very valuable. Sometimes we seek instant gratification, but the long-term repercussions can be significant!
And I totally agree with you that on Steemit, we feel safer with our information! It's great to know that the community here cares and values authenticity.
Thanks for sharing your wisdom in such an engaging and thoughtful way! 😄👏 Until the next post! 🚀
