The quick guideline used to be: would you be ok with what you’re saying showing up on the front page of the NY Post? (What’s the digital source of scurrilous gossip these days? You could drop that in instead of the Post.)

there’s a three step test that i give myself all of the time:

- does it need to be said
- does it need to be said right now
- does it need to be said right now by me

only posting if you can answer yes to all three is a good gut check in potentially sensitive situations 🖤

An important one that helped me recently against what sounds like "bait": Am I trying to explain very basic knowledge? Does this person sound like they are trying to ignore generally agreed upon ideas in favor of sounding controversial? I often refrain from commenting when the answer to those questions is "yes".

Good advice! But sometimes it is just when you don't follow the rules when things are getting interesting.

#4 "Would I be ok with my comment if it was made public" seems superfluous since it literally *is* public.

w skrócie - martw się co mówisz. To zabija autentyzm, nie podoba mi się to.

Add "Would anyone else really care about what I have to say?" to that list, and that's basically the list of why rarely post anything.

often after writing a post I ask myself these questions... and then erase 😅 (especially the public thing)

Love this! I wish we didn't have to write how-to's to treat people with respect, but I suppose that is the way of the world anymore..
