… ask yourself these three questions:

Is it kind?

Is it true?

Is it necessary?

Granted we’ve all heard this before, but sometimes we need reminding.

re: the first one

Kind and nice are not the same thing. Kind means you're assuming good intent and you're trying to benefit the other person - maybe by educating them or changing their mind. You're not just yelling at them.

re: the third

I'd argue that shitposting is very much necessary because it makes me happy, but that's a stretch haha
