My three rules for online interactions

When it comes to online interactions I try to always follow a set of simple rules that have served me incredibly well over the years:

1. Be as kind as possible. There's no point in being an asshole and kindness does wonders when it comes to interacting with strangers. Be kind, be polite.
2. Always assume the best. We all make mistakes and we all say the "wrong" things at times. Assuming the person on the other side was not moved by bad intentions helps you keep the conversation on a positive track.
3. Be authentic. The internet is already full of influencers, wannabe influencers, marketers, and bullshitters. Just be yourself.

Those are the rules. Actually, those are my rules. You might have a different set of rules and in that case, I'd love to hear from you.
