Unfriend him. Why are you putting yourself so low on your priority list? Don't you feel as if you deserve respect and your own voice?
Say what you want, when you want to say it, without worrying about what your EX-boyfriend thinks (and he IS your ex-boyfriend, no matter if he ended things "officially" or not.) If you continue worrying about what everyone else thinks, you're going to censor yourself forever... and it's a recipe for a lot of unhappiness.

I like this. ^^^^ I like it a lot. It goes hand-in-hand with what a friend told me after a break-up: Be kind to yourself. One way to do that, OP, is to not subject yourself to his judgments, or look at what he's doing when you know it's just going to irritate, upset, or otherwise bother you. Give yourself a break from dealing with his nonsense.
I doubt she's gonna let it go, she appears to be still hung up on him and was probably ecstatic to get that response on FB ('omg he's showing me attention again, there's hope yet!!!'). She could also simply be one of these women who absolutely thrives on pointless drama.
She's afraid to unfriend him because then it would really be over.
My boyfriend of 2 years and I havn't spoken in a month. He never 'officially' ended things, but simply stopped contacting me. When I tried to ask him to talk, he shut me down, yelled at me and said a lot of hurtful things. He's always been the type who wants to be 'chased' to feel 'validated' 'loved' and 'wanted.' If he tells me to 'leave him alone', I'm supposed to infer that as 'don't leave me alone, chase me till I feel better.' A lot of mind games that I am not interested in playing anymore. Anyway, though he didn't 'officially' break things off, his behavior was a deal-breaker for me and I never contacted him since either.
Nonetheless, we still have each other on social media. Throughout the month we havn't spoken, I was lost, confused, heart-broken, trying to figure out what happened and therefore wasn't active on social media. I didn't want to give him the idea that I was out and about having fun, because I'm not like that. I havn't mustered the courage to delete him yet either. Him on the other hand has been quite active on social media, making it seem like his life is going pretty well - which is fine, and doesn't affect me anymore.
Yesterday, however, exactly after a month - I posted a picture of me at a religious event I went to. I did feel hesitant about posting it thinking this might bother him, but I posted it anyway. Literally 2 mins after posting it, he posts a comment from a religious textbook stating how God has a much better future in store for him in comparison to his past. Since I know him well, I know this was his shot right back at me for posting that photo of mine. And him trying to signal that his future will be much better than his past (me).
Anyways, he's being ridiculous. I know he's trying to act like he's moved on an everything, but he didn't even officially 'break' things off.
Should I not post anything on social media anymore to prevent his tantrums?
Ignore his childishness, why not just delete him from your account?

I think so too, she just need to let him go show him she is better without him.
The best thing about getting older is not giving a flying f@rt about getting rid of the people who bring you down. I don't even give it a second thought anymore. Someone insults me or makes me roll my eyes consistently? No more interaction. Happier. No need to even give it a second thought.
YOU are in charge of YOUR life. No one else gets to dictate what you do. Simple as that.
