Dear Internet Users,
Let’s have a candid discussion. As we navigate this expansive digital realm, it’s essential to address some problematic behaviors that have turned the Internet into a breeding ground for negativity and triviality. Many of us are reaching our breaking points and considering extreme measures to escape the barrage of online nonsense.
While the Internet can showcase the best of humanity, it often highlights our worst traits. I’ve tried to be understanding; I overlooked the fact that you follow that controversial figure who believes anyone with progressive views deserves eternal damnation. I didn’t comment on your post linking to that dubious news site. And I held back my nausea when you incessantly bragged about your “wonderful partner.”
But we all have our limits, and I believe many of you might be feeling the same. So, let’s lay down some guidelines for a healthier online experience.
- If you’re leaving, just go—no announcement needed.
Here’s a tip: if you’re unhappy with a page or a friend’s online antics, simply use the “unlike” or “unfriend” button. It’s simple, efficient, and you don’t need to make a big fuss about it. Just go. - Think before you share.
Most of what you come across online is misleading or outright false. Before sharing that sensational post from dubious sources, take a moment to verify with credible outlets. And for the record, sites like Fox News and Breitbart are not considered reliable. - Let’s end the MLM sales pitches.
I’m not interested in your leggings, skincare products, or any weight loss miracle solutions. Please stop reaching out under the guise of catching up, especially when we haven’t spoken in years. No, I’m not buying your stuff, Linda. - Don’t tag me in unflattering photos.
This should be self-explanatory: if you look stunning and I resemble a disheveled mess, leave me out of it. - Stop with the hashtag humblebrags.
We get it—your life seems perfect. But posting about your glamorous experiences coupled with hashtags like #Blessed just comes off as insincere and irritating. - Keep your Sunday sermons off my feed.
No one wants to scroll through your Facebook rants masquerading as religious messages. - Unfriending is a healthy choice.
If you’re spreading hate or participating in discriminatory jokes, it’s time for you to meet my friend Unfriend and my even more assertive companion, Block. I have no time for such negativity in my life. - Sanctimonious comments won’t fly here.
If you start off with “I’m not judging, but…” you’re clearly judging. Just stop. - No more vagueposting.
If you have something important to share, share it outright. Don’t tease us with cryptic hints that lead nowhere.
If we could all commit to avoiding vagueposting, hashtag humblebrags, and unnecessary announcements of departures, that would be fantastic. Internet etiquette isn’t complicated—just adhere to a simple rule: don’t be a jerk. If we can manage that, our online experiences will be far more enjoyable.
