It's not uncommon. My cousin sent out a Christmas card announcing her divorce - I think it stops a lot of 1-1 conversations with people which can be quite draining when you're already pretty raw.
What is the alternative to announcing a divorce? Keeping it secret? Not using social media to communicate?
In this case she explicitly did NOT make any mention of the divorce on social media when her husband first sprung it on her, nor during the process. She wrote this piece after it had been finalized.
I guess a private announcement makes more sense to people than a public announcement, unless you wanted to make a blog post about a phenomenon related to it, which she appears to be trying to do
Well ask yourself why they post? Also did you read the article? Not only did this woman post it online she cross posted it to a littany of online services. Who, exactly, is she informing?

> Not using social media to communicate?
Apparently I'm a luddite now, because yes, this. Stop using social media to communicate with people you ostensibly care about.
You are not alone, because the entire concept of announcing life events on social media has always been weird to me.

She was unable "see" the divorce coming. That is one of the key sentences, therefore the need to explicitly announce the intention.
The actual post in TFA was actually much less weird than I expected from a "divorce announcement".
People looking for emotional support from friends and family during an emotionally draining event?
On social media?
Unlikely.
Divorcees.
Is it like a gender reveal where they pop a balloon that says "I cheated!"?

Attention seekers. Narcissistsz. The whole post has so many red flags. No wonder the husband asked for a divorce.
I can't image everyone posting on the socials has to be such huge attention seekers or narcisssits. Are they all really that?

And now, thanks to "AI", this "hot divorcee" even made it onto HN. I am glad for her this "brutal" event transformed into something positive. /s
