Social Media Common Sense

A great lesson in ‘once posted it’s always there’.....

The picture referenced as deleted is NOT gone. At least for me. I use the SA app, and its front and center on your post on my feed. I was startled to see it this morning actually as I was scrolling! Not sure why your post says deleted, yet it’s still there. I’m not an IT person. But it is.

I deleted the picture and don't see it on my end. Very weird. Can anyone else still see it?

This IG account caught my attention last night as a recent appointee. I looked through and saw that it was innocent enough and the bios of the kids are pretty harmless. I decided to steer clear of putting my name out there and potentially feeding dirt to my future detailers. But, some of the instagram accounts are filled with private high-school stuff which shouldn't be there.

One of my friends sent me this post from an account that was posted on the page:
(deleted pic, don't want to ruin this kids life.) . It's a picture of someone doing the 'ok'/'white power' hand symbol. Nothing else, just a close up of the picture.

While this 'symbol' is heavily debated, I can't believe someone would leave this on their instagram in light of recent controversy specifically related to service academy cadets.

Noticed the hand symbol as well and the “candidate” that was posted had been pulling a prank along with another person and had portrayed himself as an 2024 appointee. He is in the class of 2023 and sent the inappropriate photo, but luckily the admins noticed the mistake (maybe not the fastest edit, but they still tried to fix the issue) and edited his picture. Later on a DM was sent to the admin of the page notifying them that he was a current midshipmen and not a candidate who recently received an appointment, so his picture along with his shipmate picture were removed.

I'm talking about something different. The post is still there. BTW, when you view my post that you quoted can you see the picture that I deleted?
 
To be clear, I CANNOT see it on a desktop.

I CAN (and still do) see it on my phone, on the SA App. Here is a screen shot, cutting it off on purpose, but it’s all there. Under 2024Candidate ‘s name. Takes up almost my who phone screen. I don’t know why 🤷‍♀️IMG_9480.JPG
 
Yep! Without opening or looking for it. It’s just there on my timeline feed.
 
I am almost always on phone app (iPhone) and have never been able to see the photo, from when first posted until now.
 
Is there an app for SAF for phone use? I just use safari, so the internet/desktop version and cannot see the photo, fwiw.

The post is not on the Instagram page, it was removed like 2-3 hours after it was posted..

Yes, in Apple App Store “Service Academy Forums.” Not sure what other smartphones are supported.
 
Honestly, SAF has improved its smart phone adaptive format. I don't use the app, I just use the URL and it works MUCH better now than before. In fact, I found the app to be more difficult to navigate

(Uh oh, I can hear it now...."okay, boomer!" ).

It was there only today. It’s image is under whomever posted last. IOW seems to be attached to the thread somehow, not the poster.

For example, it was under ROTCDAD before. Now it’s under me as the last poster (screenshot again for understanding of what I’m trying to say)

Head scratcherView attachment 4246!

I stopped seeking out apps for things I can use on safari after a friend suggested I download the grade checking app for my kids' schools. It would send me alerts every time their grade went up or down a letter grade (or 2). It had an adverse effect on my day, so I quickly deleted it. And 'okay boomer' is my nephew's favorite phrase for me. I embrace it!

You can change your notifications to not be alerted with individual apps. It’s within your settings menu, under notifications. Or delete. That works too!

No, I don't think so with that one. I think the school district did that on purpose. Kidding, I'm sure there was a way, but it just bugged me so much. I don't need that kind of info every time a teacher enters a grade, or enters the wrong grade and then changes it 5 minutes later, lol!
 
It was a major lapse in judgment for me to post that picture in the first place. Deleted the image right after I posted. I'm glad only justdoit19 can see the picture still... somehow.
