ETHICAL, HONEST, AND KIND BEST PRACTICES FOR SOCIAL MEDIA

 AS A PERSON

Integrity & Honesty
Share information that is accurate, verified, and from credible sources (Personally check it).
Avoid clickbait, misleading headlines, or exaggerated claims.
Correct mistakes openly and quickly if you post inaccurate information.

Respect & Kindness
Treat others as you would in a face-to-face conversation.
Respond to disagreement with civility, not insults.
Refrain from harassment, bullying, or piling on in group attacks.

Empathy & Compassion
Remember, there’s a real human on the other side of the screen.
Consider how your words might affect someone emotionally or mentally.
Support people who are being unfairly attacked or marginalized.

Positive Contribution
Share content that informs, inspires, or helps others, not just content that outrages.
Give credit to creators and sources—don’t plagiarize.
Promote inclusivity, diversity, and voices that aren’t often heard.

Privacy & Boundaries
Respect personal and private information—don’t share without consent.
Avoid doxxing, shaming, or exposing private details about others.
Be mindful of oversharing your own information as well.

Constructive Engagement
Ask questions instead of assuming bad intent.
Acknowledge good points from others, even if you disagree.
Focus on ideas, not personalities.

AS A CITIZEN

Digital Citizenship
Model the behavior you want to see online (Lead with thoughtful and kind understanding).
Report harmful or illegal activity when you see it.
Use your platform responsibly—consider the impact of amplification (likes, shares, retweets).
Participate and act like a fair-minded and mature human being.
NEVER MISS AN OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE.

Mindful Use
If you can’t positively contribute in some way, don’t post anything.
Reflect before posting: “Is this true? Is this kind? Is this necessary?”
Don’t feed trolls; disengage from bad-faith arguments.

Civic Responsibility
Engage respectfully in political or social issues without demonizing others (focus on the issue or policy, never on the person).
Support constructive dialogue over polarization (if you disagree, constructively offer alternatives).

AS A LEADER

Gratitude & Encouragement
Thank people for their contributions and insights.
Encourage others who are trying to share positively.
Celebrate achievements, creativity, and community successes.
