The unspoken etiquette about posting about death on social media 11:47 - Feb 8 with 1565 viewsviewfromtheu2

I see that a post on X regarding the sad passing of a town fan yesterday was hastily deleted when it turned out that the fan had not, in-fact, died.

I’m just trying to get my head around the need (or even compulsion) by some people to post things like that on socials, presumably before the friends and family of the person were even aware.

Thankfully it turns out that the fan who had a medical emergency prior to the game in a popular pub chain yesterday is OK but my goodness, people need to think before they post rubbish on socials.

It's the unspeakable awfulness of social media.

Stuff like that gets mega engagement, which means ALL the likes, and all the dopamine.

Particularly true for that individual and his bedsheets.

People are so desperate to break news first. It's pathetic.

No surprise that the king of attention seeking would post it.

Not the first time either...

"reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated"

Apparently that quote was an exaggeration too!

The worst are those who pop videos on after attacks. Some haven't even had their family members called by the police yet their bodies are all over the internet. Hate it.

Media don’t even care if it’s true, as long as they’re first.

It’s all about being seen to be in the know or being the first. A cancer of the online culture. A couple of posts on here yesterday were spreading news she’d died. If you were not there then you’re part of the problem spreading unverifiable info.

But the most important thing here is that the woman involved is ok (if that itself is true).

How does the "likes to dopamine release" mechanism actually work?

Do you have to take the evidence of a popular post into the chemist to get the pills like with a prescription?

Best to say nothing until family and friends find out the right way and then only if they wish you to. People taking photos at accidents absolutely abhorrent.
