This article discusses the complex relationship between social media and digital storytelling and self-construction processes, especially in politics.Contemporary debates about digital narratives, however, lack a deep focus on the everyday, ethnographic realities of social movements. On the other hand, the debate about social media activism lacks a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between digital narrative, self-presentation, and the process of political identity construction. The article page studies and explains the lack of these things. Of course, this article also explains self-presentation and how to distinguish social media from other forms of media activism.

The sociability of social media satisfies the mutual communication and interaction between individuals, while the attribute of media is characterized by “performance”, so it is an excellent platform for observing “self-presentation”. Therefore, in the article, the author also mentioned two means of self-presentation by modern social media for political participants. To be honest, I think both of these effects are actually to promote their political ideas in many ways and to construct their own political system. In the current information explosion, political information is transmitted to citizens through various mass media. The communication tools have changed from the original traditional media to the new media with different forms, and the communication environment has been replaced by the vast Internet. Another plus in recent years, the media agenda setting by the public tend to increase the influence of the individual and the entertainment news, political communication effect might be totally unexpected, one-way pattern of political communication has basically been broken, two-way interactive information publishers and the receiver has become mainstream, even the trend of “personal communication”.

Speaking of self-presentation on social media, it can actually be understood that people live in a world of role-playing, and the form and connotation of this performance can be explained by drawing on the knowledge of dramaturgy, hence the front and back fields and the theory of dramaturgy. Human interaction depends on a specific character judgment, a mixture of rationality and irrationality, which depends on people’s performance — it is people’s performance that constructs their roles. What is interesting is that there is a deviation between the role in people’s mind and the role judgment made by others after watching the performance. This deviation is always perceived by the performers, and then in turn promotes the new performance in the past.
