Now that we've all had a collective yay for internet awesomeness, let's dish out some advice:

 

Sometimes people behave online in ways they would never offline, which unfortunately isn’t a great thing in many cases. If you had to give one piece of advice about how to be a good online citizen what would it be?

 

I think the best thing is to not be the source of negativity online, and if you can and want to post a positive comment or send something nice to someone. I also learned from a video that the best way to beat an internet troll (apart from not feeding it) is to call them out, and if enough people do it the troll won't want to come back. It can be tough though, so only if you really feel up to it

Be yourself and remember, if you wouldn't say it IRL, don't put it in text. An easy way to remember this is to ask yourself if you would be comfortable saying it to their face.


My entire life can be described in one sentence: It didn't go as planned and that's okay. ツ

Don't type it if you won't say it to their face.

@safari93 not being the source of negativity is definitely the most important thing. Also on the flipside I think being a purposeful source of positvity is a great thing, it's nice when people go out of their way to share something that makes others smile 🙂

RESPECT, RESPECT, RESPECT AND MOOOORE RESPECT. There is someone behind that screen and we need to be mindful that what we say may hurt someone else.

Don't post anything you wouldn't want your grandma to see. And people can take things to heart so much easier online (which makes sense too) so be careful how you word things, sometimes its easier to just not say anything at all.
I know I have been caught a couple of times replying to peoples facebook status's sarcastically when my input was not necessary,

Another positive thing is that it gets my art out, I use social media to share my art with the world and what not.

There's so much mental health support groups and pages online, it's so important and can be useful for people who might not be able to use traditional avenues for support

Now that we’ve gotten through some of our more embarrassing online moments, tell us about something really awesome that’s happened for you on/because of the Internet

 

I used to be part of an online writing community (LiveJournal, anyone?) and I loved it when people would read my work and comment on it (mostly when the comments were positive hahah). Even though most of my work was fanfiction, it was super validating to see people liked what I wrote

I met my mate which I'm going to visit in 2 weeks. I first sort help because of a depression support page on Facebook. RO.

@FootyFan26 it's perfectly okay to feel that way, and we can't help being affected by things sometimes. If you need to take a bit of time out, or you can talk about some awesome things that you might have seen happen on the internet 🙂
