Social media should I stay off it?

Joe

This is a daft thing i know, but earlier I made the mistake of commenting on something in a local FB group.  Someone had posted a lost driving licence they found outside Tesco, I said I didn't understand why people posted this on FB and went on to suggest they could've handed it back in to Tesco, popped it round or posted it.  All logical to me. 

I got quite an aggressive responsive accusing me of being gods gift and was I having a bad day.  I've smoothed it over, but I'm thinking maybe I need to come off social media or general forums areas where people just don't get what I might be saying.  This is not the first time something like this happens and I find it quite distressing.  Should I just disengage? What do you guys do?

  • I’ve had bad experiences on social media in the past and when I subsequently came back to my traditional Catholic faith 15 years ago, I was told by my spiritual director that being on social media was gravely sinful, in fact a mortal sin, so I deleted all of my social media profiles in obedience to the teachings of the church of which I am a member long before my diagnosis - but it did get me thinking that for people like us, being on social media is totally inappropriate and this was especially true during Covid lockdowns

    pretty sure social media isnt listed as one of the sins in any branch of christianity lol
    although the sins were always stupid anyway.... having sex is a sin... but without it there would be no humanity at all right?
