How to communicate properly on social media

  1. Consider your audience: Make sure to think about who you are addressing and the context of the conversation before you post.

  2. Put yourself in the other person's shoes: Before you post, try to imagine how the other person might interpret your message.

  3. Choose your words wisely: Use language that is clear and concise and consider the impact that your words may have.

  4. Take a time-out: If you find yourself getting heated about a situation, take a step back and take a few deep breaths before responding.

  5. Proofread and edit: Before pressing send on a post or comment, double-check it for errors and typos.

  6. Make sure to apologize: If you find that you have made a mistake, be sure to apologize and own up to it.

  7. Post with purpose: Be mindful of why you are posting and the intention behind it.

  8. Be mindful of tone: Pay attention to the tone of your posts and comments. Make sure it is respectful and sincere.

  9. Make sure to be courteous: Show respect to others and remember to be polite in your interactions.

  10. Have fun: Social media doesn’t have to be all serious – inject some humour and puns into your posts to keep it light-hearted and enjoyable for everyone.
