I’m seeing a lot of tweets of people shaming others for sharing some of their good deeds.
The first thing you need to figure out is why you’re choosing to publicly call someone out instead of messaging them privately.

You also need to think well of people before jumping to wild conclusions. Riya (showing off) is a form of minor shirk (which is still a major sin!!) and to accuse someone of that is heavy. So think well of people before you make such assumptions
Also consider the benefits of sharing some good deeds. We see soo much haram every day. When someone shares an Ayah, a picture of their prayer mat, a link to a charity... they’re helping to normalise good deeds and encouraging others to participate.
Reminders benefit the believers and in the month of Ramadan everyone wants as much ajr as possible. Live and let live
If you’re concerned about someone showing off, then share a reminder about Riya or message them privately. But don’t assume
In this unprecedented time of isolation, it’s beautiful seeing soo many people sharing their activities, posting insta lives, reciting Quran and sharing donation links. It gives a sense of community and if you don’t like you can always mute those people
may Allah accept everyone’s efforts in this blessed month
ameen
