People use social media for many reasons, including socialization, self-expression, entertainment, and emotional support. Despite this widespread use, most netizens are silent watchers who are playing it safe, perhaps even fearful to share their thoughts online. Only a small part of social media users do the heavy posting, and you’d be surprised how truly intense it can get over on the ‘White People Twitter.'Individuals in this community are known to stir quite the commotion online, sharing hard truths that others are too afraid to admit. We compiled a whole list of them for you to react to, all you have to do is scroll down to find them below.

Just Giving It All Away
Around 2006, Jakob Nielsen web usability consultant and human–computer interaction researcher, observed a pattern of online community behavior and proposed the 90-9-1 rule, also known as the participation inequality rule, to describe it. It states that 90% of users online are "lurkers," who consume content but rarely contribute, 9% contribute occasionally, and the remaining 1% do the heavy posting.
The small part that chooses to share their thoughts online may feel comfortable doing so for various reasons. One of them is the moral courage that anonymity online offers. It’s no secret that cyberspace provides a blanket of anonymity, which can boost the bravery of social media users.

I hated that interview. The man is the President of a country who was attacked and at war. He was talked down to like a child. And then we (him) had the audacity to demand resources, like protection money. What do they do in the mob when The Don gets out of line? God I don't even mention his name or refer to him at all usually. It gives him power. He's a scab. Don't pick at it. It will go away in a couple years.
Shameful. Humiliating. Accurate
Psychologists also suggest that people choose to share their thoughts, beliefs, and experiences online to socialize and connect with others. Since human beings are wired for connection and socialization, social media can provide them with a platform to find others who have the same interests. Posting can be a way to maintain that connection with others, which can give individuals a sense of belonging and camaraderie.

For some people, social media is an outlet for creativity, which encourages them to post online as well. Sharing their talents and the things they love can be freeing, as finding an outlet for creativity reduces stress and negative emotions, fosters personal growth and confidence, enhances social connections, and improves mental well-being and productivity.

Fact:
At the same time, posting online can become a distraction from all the things that are happening in the world. Social media can be entertaining and simultaneously offer a respite from reality, which we all need from time to time.
When times get especially hard, people can also turn to social media for emotional support and coping. Posting about our struggles can be a way to vent, receive sympathy from others, which helps us to feel less alone. This can be a huge source of comfort for some.

And a total badass. Zolenski is a prime example of a how to be a good president without previous political experience. The only one I can think of.
There are also those people who simply seek validation and attention from others, which social media can deliver in abundance. Likes, comments, shares, and followers can make some individuals feel valued and recognized. In today’s society, where success is often linked with social media presence, people want to belong and be a part of the crowd.

Younger people in general seem to feel more comfortable with sharing their opinions online, as one study has shown that 55% regularly post about their opinions on social media, while 71% said they feel more confident now than ever posting about causes they are passionate about.
When asked what gives them the courage to do so, 78% said they see others sharing their views, which empowers them to do the same. 50% believed they should be free to post whatever they want on their social media accounts, while 47% agreed it’s crucial to share their opinions to help the causes they care about. Lastly, 32% said it’s easy for them to share their views online in creative ways and engage with others of the same opinion.

That said, more than half of surveyed young people admitted to feeling hesitant to share their opinions because of fears of spreading false information. Around a third said they didn’t want others to know their personal information, weren’t sure what the best way to share their thoughts was, and worried about the posts being used against them in the future.

💯 Accurate!
So Nielsen’s 90-9-1 rule still seems to apply to internet users 20 years later. The majority still prefer to be passive social media users, which offers some fascinating insights into human psychology. One of the main traits that experts observe in these silent lurkers is h**h self-awareness.
These people tend to be very conscious of how they present themselves; therefore, they avoid posting something that might be misinterpreted. They are also more likely to be introverted, which means they gain more energy from watching, reflecting, and consuming content rather than contributing to it.
A Legacy Of Kindness
PBS/NPR does lean 'left'. But, there is no other news org I'm aware of that simply gives you the facts, pro and con, and demands you use critical thinking skills to decide what to think. As I pointed out in an Op-Ed to the local paper in pushback against someone who urged no public funds for CPB, I prefer to be given the facts and decide, not be told what/how to think.

People’s choice to be a silent watcher could be a defense mechanism too, to avoid showing their vulnerability in front of a big crowd and protect themselves from rejection, embarrassment, or misunderstanding.
The last two traits that could be attributed to online lurkers are a reflective and analytical mindset and independence from social validation. They prefer to analyze content, consider different perspectives, and form their own opinions, while their worth and happiness come from within rather than from approval from others.
Hope you enjoyed learning more about what encourages or drives us away from sharing our opinions online. Whether you’re a silent watcher or enthusiastic poster, let us know what you thought about this list, and perhaps check out another one of our articles about ‘White People Twitter’ too.

It really didn't hit the same when the US citizens booed the Canadian anthem in retaliation. If anything, it just showed how uninformed the US citizens are as to what's been happening towards Canada. Canadians were trying to explain to the US that they were booing towards the president and their governments, and all who support the dictatorship and threats towards Canada. Canada hasn't done anything to garner such disrespect from the USA. We have every right to be this pissed off.

This is how the USA reciprocates to Canada? Nah. A f*****g gunshot to the back.

It’s ridiculous how rich and powerful people keep bringing in Jesus to justify their distorted views. Jesus was very meek and mild with pretty much everyone - except the rich and the powerful. He literally said that it would be easier for a camel to go through the head of a needle than for a rich person to enter heaven. If those rich people are really Christian, they should be afraid, very afraid. And donate a lot to charity and humanitarian causes. So that the needle head becomes a bit bigger.

When I was a kid in the late 1960s, I read a Readers Digest article about a "breakthrough" in Autism research. It described a family whose autistic child didn't respond as they thought he should, and would have meltdowns. Their breakthrough solution? Hard slaps across the face. Repeatedly. Somehow it got the kid's attention, so it must be the answer. I was only an elementary school kid, but it made me sick.
