Long story short, I was on twitter / x not long ago and had some adult pics on there. Well, my aunt started showing up in the 'people you may know’section and showed up there pretty regularly as one of the top 3 recommendations. I clicked her profile just out curiosity, but while I was scrolling down I accidentally clicked the retweet button and then undid it fast.
Shortly after, I saw that my pics had about 5 or 6 clicks / expands but I didn’t have any followes and hadn’t followed or messaged anyone yet.
A couple of weeks later, I saw my uncle had created an account and was following my aunt, so at that point I blocked her because I thought it was awkward.
The next day my mom texted me asking me how I was doing and if everything was ok, my aunt is her sister. I had asked my aunt if she saw my page, but she avoided the question.
I don’t want to ask my mom , just think it’s awkward.
Hi and welcome to the forum. What difference will it make if she has viewed your pictures? Unfortunately its a bit late now, it sounds like she is not saying anything so move on but learn from it. Don’t post pictures unless you are happy for anyone/everyone to see them would be my advice.
You sound worried… otherwise why bring it up on a forum?
But yeah, live an learn - whatever you post online can be seen by anyone unless you can restrict distribution settings.
The tinternet makes these situations easy to get into for idle hands.
@lonelymisfit, if it is done, it is done and can’t be undone.
It might be awkward for a while, but I am sure that everyone would just want it to be forgotten and move on.
Personally I wouldn’t have blocked relatives as it looks as so you have something to hide, or are embarrassed by it, which you shouldn’t be. Perhaps just keep the pictures more secure as once they are on the web, you could potentially lose control of them.
I personally wouldn’t post nudes on social media for this very reason. I used to have an Instagram account connected to my blog, all fine until my father-in-law came up a “people you may know”. Forunately he doesn’t know my blog name, nor do I post nudes.
Be careful. It’s better safe than being seen by someone you don’t wish to see you.
Why am I laughing too hard at this? Thankyou, kind Sir. You have just exposed my inner nerd.
