Be anonymous

When creating your profile on social networks, you need to avoid being tied to the “physical” world as much as possible.

You cannot indicate your address, date of birth, school, class. It is better to use an obvious pseudonym: it should be clear from it that this is not a real name (after all, using false data: “Alexey” instead of “Alexander” is prohibited by the rules of social networks).

There is no need to put your photo on an avatar if you are not at least 15-16 years old. All children and adolescents under this age, posting their photo, run the risk of becoming a victim of an intruder.

Humanity is just learning to communicate in the Net, but the rules of good form here are no different from those that must be observed in the real world. Do not insult others, do not be intrusive, do not let your negative emotions get out of control, write competently.

As in life, on the Net we have to be in different communities, and the rules of communication may differ. A polite person, once in an unfamiliar society, will first of all try to find out its features. Somewhere it is customary to communicate on “you”, and somewhere – on “you”, somewhere emoticons are appropriate, but somewhere – not. There are companies where the use of online slang is encouraged, and there are those where they simply will not understand it or consider you illiterate.
