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

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.
