    What are some good digital-hygiene ideas that are *not* derived from “reduce-screen-time” genre of withdrawal/Waldenponding tactics? Examples: - Never RT a link without scanning it first - Make a blacklist of words to avoid using - Disengage from beef-only thinkers

        You’ve heard of crash-only programming, right? Welcome to beef-only thinking. For some people it ain’t real if it ain’t a fight-or-flight context.

        Twitter Gifts Anyone Can Give: 1. Recognize you aren’t an expert in many fields and that many fields have experts who aren’t you. 2. Ask questions to understand rather than rhetorical questions to gain points. 3. RT things you like. 4. Don’t quote tweet what you don’t.

        The biggest advantage of digital communication is the asyc aspect which allows you to perform fact checking on your arguments before presenting them. Before speaking on a public platform ALWAYS do this regardless of how sure you're about something.

        Domain filtering. Also some content filtering were it possible, but at the very least an explicit list of topics you decide to never engage in

        Don’t QT accounts with significantly smaller followings so as not to provoke a pile on, regardless of what they said

        Always assume that the person on the other side of the interaction is at root a good person trying their best to make it through this crazy world, and look for the good in whatever it is they are saying. If there is no good, look for what pain they might have to cause such energy

        Oh and click through the link chain to get to the primary source when sharing a fact.

        Never make a factual claim without linking to a source. (Can't say we 100% always keep to this one, but it's definitely a good habit to have).
