Last week I was extolling the virtues of Social Media with my post, Look Down
And I stand by it, completely, but over the last couple of days I have seen so much crap behaviour that I want to share with you some rules of Social Media. These were shared with me as rules to live by, and I fully embrace them.
Rule one of Twitter.
DON'T BE A DICK.
Rule one of Facebook.
DON'T BE A DICK.
Rule one of life.
DON'T BE A DICK.
If you feel that you cannot abide by these, quite frankly, simple rules. then all social media and other privileges should be removed from you, so that you can only communicate with people by crayon.
Rule one of Crayon use.
DON'T BE A DICK.
If you feel that you ARE a dick.
DON'T BE A DICK.
It is simple, for some, not being a dick may not come naturally. You may have to practice at not being a dick. Try tweeting a compliment, instead of an insult. Tell Piers Morgan his hair looks pretty, Retweet Ricky Gervais a couple of times. Unfriend that ridiculous group, Britain First and for the love of god stop sharing pictures of poorly children and thinking you are making a difference.
You may slip, you may be a dick once or twice. this can be overcome by not BEING A DICK.
Together, we can work to eradicate being a dick.
Go forth people, spread the word, and share with me your rules for social media and life.

Excellent advice ;)
ReplyDeleteI would also like to remove privileges for those who deem it appropriate to tell people what they should or shouldn't be doing on their own blogs/websites (aka: being a dick), that boils my piss. X
KELLIE FOR PRIME MINISTER! Simple as that!
ReplyDeletehaha, seconded!
DeleteYou know that my first rule would be that chocolate cake is free for everyone on their period, right?
DeleteGood point, well made
ReplyDeleteagreed! x
ReplyDeleteI'd very much like to make a kitten smile so I thought I'd comment and say I wholeheartedly agree. The Interwebs can get ugly, I'm all for keeping it a pretty place to be.
ReplyDeleteA kitten is smiling and a butterfly just got its wings . Waves hello
DeleteYes yes and yes-you made me laugh out loud, not being a dick is not hard-why do so many have an issue. Think before you tweet people. Brilliant x
