Opinion: Enough with the Copy-Paste Culture— What Not To Do On Threads
For the first week, Threads was the glossy new toy we were all vibing with. It was like everyone had just stepped out of a salon, ready for the spotlight—pure magic. But honey, it didn't take long for that magic to start feeling a bit... rehearsed. Watching the same folks who run wild on X or troll on Instagram suddenly flip and present themselves as the next wellness messiah? Yeah, it's a whole lot of no from me.
It's like we walked onto the set of "Stepford Wives" circa 2004—everything and everyone just a tad too polished, too perfect, and honestly? It felt fake. Now, don't get me wrong. We're all here for that glow-up and more joy in our lives. But let's be real: there's a thin line between genuinely striving for better and just doing it for the 'Gram or, worse, the cash. So, how about we keep it 100 on Threads and make it a spot where authenticity reigns supreme, not just a playground for likes and follows? Here are some no-nos we need to leave behind:

Enough with the Copy-Paste Culture: Girl, it's beyond tired to snatch someone's heartfelt words and parade them around as your own. Credit where it's due, please. Don't be that person grabbing the spotlight with someone else's script.
Projection is a No-Go: We get it, Threads is like our group therapy session, but let's not prescribe everyone the same medicine we think we need. It's cool to share your journey, but let's not dictate others' paths. Instead of the preachy "don't do this or that," how about a "life is teaching me XYZ"?
Keep It Real, Not Just Relevant: Ever scrolled past a post that hit deep, but you didn't share 'cause it wasn't the flavor of the week? That's chasing clout, sweetie, not sharing your truth. Let's vibe with what moves us, not just what's moving the masses.
Remember, acting like everything is perfect makes a shallow attempt at real wellness and or healing. If you want a safe space, you’ll have to create it by being the person YOU POST TO BE.
