What do you actually think would happen here? That a friend would text me within, idk, 1 to 4 hours of his mom dying? I think he’s got bigger problems - calling a funeral home, or just dealing with the grief.
Was he supposed to text me before the body was cold?
Or was I supposed to text him, either hourly or before I say anything else, “Hey, if your mom dead yet?”.
I didn’t go to Instagram LOOKING for this information. But it was there. As this was when the algorithm was new, I had a decade of experience with IG to expect that if there was anything recent, a quick scroll would surface it, but I was also doing the same thing I’d do a couple times a day.
But IG manipulated my feed, ruined the experience and caused an awkward moment.

No, I expected you to text him with “hey mate, haven’t heard from you in a bit, hope everything is as good as can be”
And given what he is going through, don’t send him “goofy” texts…
You’re still blaming a website for your lack of social intelligence. And insulting me for pointing it out to you.
You chose an online social network over real human connection…
Are you missing a chromosome?
