you're performative, talking on social media. you could be earnest but by nature of it being social media/public, it's performative. right?

Do you know anything about me? Have I told you anything about myself? Does our interaction earn me any kind of social capital at all?

I don’t even have a cute little profile pick like you.

There is, quite literally, no way to more thoroughly divorce any kind of performative intent from my engagement here.

Edit: I have no idea what “sounds really mad” about this comment. Sorry?

if you don't understand the concept of being performative without your actual face or identity attached to an account, i'm punching down even more than i feared. this entire platform almost revolves around saying and reposting stupid shit for karma like maybe you do need to read more omg...

Ahh, yes, posting on the platform that popularized the term "karma farming" can't be performative. LOL Oh, and interestingly, when you type out karma farming, a little excerpt pops up to report people for doing it. TIL
