Vaguebooking. At least it died out for me, when my age group grew up past high school. Specifically, the vaguebooking that would involve lame-ass "motivation quotes" or worse song lyrics that were obviously about some dramatic thing happening in their life, usually pointed at someone.
I still have one person who never moved on from high-school who still does crap like this, but now I just still follow them for the pure nostalgia and the joy of seeing these. Seriously, they show how immature they are, unable to actually go talk about their emotions a veil so thin of "please I want my privacy" while posting about it online.
Omg u ok hun? PMd u xx
Thx im fine thx 4 always being thrre xxxx
You've just described like 90% of the AIM away messages in high school lol.
Oh god now there is a concept I long forgot about!
I didn't notice it at the time, but AIM away messages were basically like proto-Twitter long before actual Twitter became a thing. Some people would always be "away" so their inspirational crap would show since AIM still let you chat like normal while "away".
Aaahaha. Back when Facebook was still a thing I would vaguebook with Protomen lyrics. God knows what I was thinking
If you destroy the working class all you get is a broken machine?
Omfg yes. I remember when Facebook had that promt next to the posting input, prefixing all statements.
"Person".. is feeling like somebody hurt me badly.
Repost if your a strong black woman who don't need no man
Oh my, yes. That one needed to die before it started. Obviously fishing for responses, refusing to elaborate, sometimes getting defensive in the comments, sometimes moving conversations to private chat.
And the tired old "someone knows who they are!"
Followed with one of their friends saying "Yeah Tim's an asshole" and them replying either "Yes he's such an asshole" or equally likely "Please respect our privacy". Either way, super annoying.
Just publicly saying they're in the know, and closer to the poster than anyone who doesn't know. "Look at me! I'm such a close friend that I know who they're talking about!"
