Social Media, But Gay: Finding Our People, Chasing Attention, and Oversharing Online
Can social media help us find our people without making every part of our lives public?
This episode explores how gay people use social media to build community, follow creators, stay connected, and discover versions of queer life they may not see around them. It also covers algorithms, follower counts, attention, and the pressure to turn real life into content.
The conversation gets into privacy, oversharing, performative posts, and whether vulnerability online can become content for engagement. It also highlights gay creators and what makes someone feel authentic beyond a feed.
