Liking a post says you liked it, or maybe it’s a personal post by a friend and you want to just quietly acknowledge it to them. Maybe you can find it again later in your likes if you want to share it. It’s NOT mandatory.
Reblogging is sharing it with everyone who happens across your blog.
Reblogging is a good thing to do for sharing and promoting things you
want to share and promote, or things you like enough to keep on your
blog for other people to happen across as well. It’s NOT mandatory.
The OTT extreme language I’m seeing used to try and guilt-trip people
into constant reblogging isn’t healthy. It’s what happens when you’ve
had your brain poisoned by the commodification of hobbies and start treating everyone who’s not actively promoting your brand as some kind of enemy.
Nobody who sees something in passing and finds it mildly interesting or
generally appealing or whatever is obligated by blood-debt to then also
recommend it to all their friends and promote it to everyone who happens
by.
It’s not an act of violence to not reblog. Stop calling people murderers when this is just about posting on our stupid little blogging platform.
You can reblog this if you want. Or not. It’s fine. It’s your blog. It’s your internet experience. You can curate it how you want to. You should curate it how you want to.
