We all know the feeling: you see something infuriating and, before you can stop yourself, you’re pounding the keys, firing off a post that will change the world, or at least change someone’s mind.
Anyone else do that?
But, honestly, here’s the thing: posting on social media probably won’t change things as much as we hope.
So, why doesn’t it work, and what can we do instead?
