There are in fact unwritten rules guiding internet usage that you
probably didn’t know about. Here are 6 unwritten
internet rules to know.
Rule 1: If I’m Not In Your Picture, Don’t Tag Me
Too many internet users disregard this rule to the ire of those
who have to deal with being tagged on pictures they have no idea about or are
completely uninterested in. If you think about it, it’s really unfair to
carelessly tag people in pictures. If you’re absolutely eager for the person to
see a picture, simply mention the person in the comments. The ‘@’ feature was
created to serve this very purpose.
Rule 2: Don’t Argue With Trolls
It’s a waste of time and it’s much like arguing with a brick wall
– useless and frustrating. Just ignore them and move on. Let them have their 1
or 2 minutes of fame and be forgotten like the irrelevant features of the
internet that they are.
Rule 3: Anything You Write Can and Will Be Used Against You or
Turned Into Something Else
The second part is very likely, especially on social media. Your
words are very likely going to be misunderstood by one or two people and turned
around into something entirely different from what you could have even
fathomed. You just have to keep that in mind and try to prepare for it when you
post words on social media. In addition, avoid writing carelessly on social
media about people or organizations. Write what you mean and mean what you write
because the internet is a public place and anyone can call you out on your BS.
Be wise.
Rule 4: No Real Limits Apply Here
On the internet, people can say anything about anyone in anyway.
Some people go as far as commenting on very uncomfortable and awkward aspects
of their lives and the lives of others. Just when you think you’ve seen it all,
someone comes out with an ‘nkan be’ tale of their experience in this world, and
then you start to hear stories of how a person was romanced by a goat into
sexual intimacy. There are absolutely no limits here, so prepare yourself. Get
ready to see any and everything.
Rule 5: If You Lose a Social Media Debate, Just Take the L
It’s as simple as that. Be mature about it and respectfully
entertain the other person’s winning argument. Don’t get mad or feel
humiliated. That’s just unnecessary. No one knows everything, so just accept it
as a lesson that you can actually learn from. Cursing the person or blocking
the person for winning an argument is inappropriate and just makes you
look silly.
Rule 6: If a Person Posts Something Sad About Themselves on Their
Timeline, Don’t Hit Like It
Imagine posting about a losing a job, a beloved relative or a
significant other, and a person hits like on the post. It seems like the person
is relishing the misery of the other person. Please be wise and don’t like
posts carelessly. Comment where you should and if you have nothing to say, just
move on.
