Oh, my. Niece is at it again!

Yesterday's facebook post:
Are you really vaccinated if you're not posting about it?!
This time it was to be able to post about her stepdaughter
getting her first dose.

Oy.
I did post about being vaccinated to Facebook (which I only look
at every few months), because it might reach someone who would
want to know, but that's different from thinking everyone
should.
I know people who might not post about being vaccinated because
they don't want to get into pointless arguments about whether
they should have done it. (Whatever your opinion about either
vaccination or Facebook, "you shouldn't have done that thing" is
rarely useful advice.)

I see this style of post all the time for various topics; always
tongue in cheek.
"Did you really hit a back-squat PR if you didn't post video?
;D" (along with posting said video)
"I VOTED!!!!! It only counts if you post about it! ;)"
"I know some of you haterz wouldn't believe me if I didn't post
a photo of my spectacular Thanksgiving meal! :)"
I've never taken it as a negative thing, just a stylistic thing.
Not everyone has the same interests or sense of humor.

Yes, I read this in a sort of jokey tone. Eg "If a tree falls in
the forest, does anyone hear it" etc.

I guess I could see the joking style of it, but it really would
rub me the wrong way. Not everyone wants to advertise
everything about their life. If I want to share my medical
stuff, I will. If I don't, I won't. I don't like being baited
into sharing something. This is one of the many reasons why I'm
not interested in Facebook.

That's a stylistic, tongue-in-cheek format. It's takes a gentle
swipe about everyone posting about (thing) and says "And I'm
doing it too!" It's meant to be light hearted and a little
self-deprecating.

I really doubt the niece was trying to bait anyone into sharing
anything. I think she was using a popular turn of phrase because
SHE wanted to share something.
I do completely understand that some people are more private
than others. I don't think either group (or anything in between)
should be judgy toward the other or try to change the way people
use social media. I think if a person posts things that annoy or
offend, that person can be defriended, muted, or blocked. I
don't think every post requires a comment or is directed
specifically for each individual person on a friends list.

Eh, I did a quick post when I got my Covid vaccine, and it
wasn't to bait anyone into sharing their medical information. I
shared it because I know that some people out there were on the
fence about having it done and it was my way of saying that I
had it done and it was no big deal. I know plenty of people who
have been vaccinated and haven't posted about it and I would
never, ever guilt or shame them into doing so.

I guess it can be serious or tongue-in-cheek depending on the
person. The OP seems bothered by several entries that her niece
posted.
I think the OP should just unfriend niece if her views annoy
her.

I think it is meant as a joke. But on top of the mother's day
ban she issued, it's hard to be sure.
