I’m not talking about you, dear fedizens Fedizens are built differently :p
normie social media; fb, instagram, linkedin etc
I mean business in a loose sense of the word, but not always to generate a profit.
Ex personal branding - marketting yourself a defacto product. Ex; linkedin as a whole. Instagram/fb being the pinnacles of a persons existence, being fundamentally ‘look at how cool i am’.
I’m not counting IM messenger programs like discord or matrix or sms as social medias or phone apps like the 1900s era telephone. Obv i message/call my mom a lot. Pseudo/Anonymous social medias like reddit/4chan etc are also different that say facebook, and i’m not talking about them either.
I’ve noticed that when trying to use social media for networking irl, it’s god awful for that. But when i’m using it for business/marketing, it goes better.
As I told the other person – I do think people would care enough to want social attention, but I highly doubt that in a non-capitalist society we’d be cultivating this highly curated worksona who is always in a good mood, never tired, and loves being exploited, yanno?
Oh no, there will definitely be work in socialism and how your coworkers and bosses view you could definitely have a positive or negative impact on your career. It’s not just a matter of wanting social attention, but in socialism and communism it’s going to be even more about what others think of you than before. You’ll need to present yourself as a model citizen/worker if you want promotions and opportunities and stuff, that is if you don’t have money and the people in charge of that aren’t taking bribes, which they probably are.
