There is a distiction between how some portray themselves on social media, but I think it can be either front or backstage. Some like to create an image which could be a professional front yet others will pour out their heart with what is going on in there lives. My knowledge of Goffmans theory is limited to frontstage mask and backstage mask so with this limited view I would say Goffmans approach doesn't fit in with social media with way to may variables

I think social media is FRONT STAGE and is the easiest way to engage people into your experiences or thoughts. Personally I like to use social media as a platform to highlight or bring attention to some of the issues that exist in the world that are important to me and hopefully in some way encourage higher levels of humanity surrounding those issues and spread LOVE!
Not sure whether my view of technology or social media would constructively contribute to this discussion board in the way it is intended but I have appreciated and enjoyed reading everyone's posts. :)

I read on facebook actually "don't compare your behind-the scenes with someone elses highlight reel"
I think this highlights Goffmans theory.
the fact that many people have different accounts for different audiences, show how we are putting on a show.
the campaigns where people are  wearing no make up, no filters etc, for a cause... emphasises this by deeming these people as brave for showing their back stage if you will.
I think this has been a time long phenomena, that is being made more available, more widespread, by social media.

I think that different people use social media in different ways. Some use it as a Front Stage, using platforms such as Facebook or Instagram to portray a highly edited, unrealistic, "perfect life" that does not fit with their reality. Others use these platforms in an Back Stage way, sometimes oversharing their messy, chaotic lives and personal details. These platforms can also give insight, through sharing of memes etc, into a persons ideas on social topics such as immigration, that you would not see in a general acquaintance type relationship.

I think it does fit in. On each social media platform people use another performance. For instance on Facebook and Instagram people tend to put forward their best life and leave out more mundane aspects, whereas on a platform like twitter people are generally doing the opposite. And then you have platforms like reddit where it is largely anonymous, so people tend to either show themselves as they really are or as their worst possible selves (being "edgy" and whatnot)

Social Media 

It produces a script based on what we part of our person or life we feel safe or confident to devolve

I guess we produce here the best version of ourselves.
It is often used as an arena for social impact be it change of community or mindset beliefs

# data[].attributes.body
I believe its used to tell others something, and its down to the individual what they want to say

I think that social media is a front stage as people only show the best parts of their lives, and don't usually post about the negatives

# data[].attributes.body
social media is utilised to manly show the front stage, the best part of an individuals life. however, some use it to show the back stage and be undeniably real with their audience, showing their bad side as well. this may be to also seek attention “back stage” there may be a breakdown or stuff going wrong and some people like to use this to seek attention or even just bring awareness on such thing.

# data[].attributes.body
People only show there best self or who they want the world to see and so many young people posting almost  nudes to get lots of likes! Or up their so called social class!

# data[].attributes.body
I think it depends on the platform. I believe that the bigger the platform is, the more front stage it is.

# data[].attributes.body
I think people use social media to make a cover for themselves so people don't see who they really are

# data[].attributes.body
people often use instagram particularly to show case a lifestyle which may or may not align with their real life - instagram particularly seems to allow people to create whatever mask they desire

# data[].attributes.body
When we post things on social media, we only want people to see the "perfect" side of us.

# data[].attributes.body
In general terms I think it is front stage. Instagram, for example, is almost all people putting their best self forward. There is definitely room for backstage on places like Twitter, but social media definitely lends itself to front stage.

# data[].attributes.body
I think most people create the best image of themselves to present on social media. People will upload content that makes their life appear to be as impressive as possible. I have also noticed some people that are extremely honest on social media and use it as a diary for their personal thoughts, feelings and experiences.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that it fits somewhere in the middle; as from personal experience you generally hold back from being fully on the backstage but you also generally don't fully on the front stage

# data[].attributes.body
People may change their behaviour in the public space or private space to appeal the audience or attention they are after. This is rather applicable of social media or in some cases dating apps.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that social media is more of a front stage as we post in way that makes other see us in a certain light.

Definitely fits in with social media. People put on a front of their 'perfect unattainable' life through Instagram which then leads their audience to compare themselves to the influencer and can often lead to poor self-esteem and poor value of self. Which is why it is so important to remail 'REAL' online
