5 Tips to Quality Comments

The internet is full of bad commenting, especially on places like Twitter and Facebook. Here are my tips to quality comments.

  • No personal attacks: I see lots of commenters attacking someone calling them “libtards” “snowflakes” “white supremacists” and other pejoratives. It doesn’t do any good and only makes people angry.
  • Check your posts: I’m guilty of posting quickly without proofreading just like everyone. Even though I don’t use Twitter, I know that you can’t edit posts. Donald Trump gets criticized for posting without proofreading, but many of us do it, too. Facebook does allow edits, which is nice and I take advantage of it to fix errors.
  • Thoughtful questions: Think of questions that are well thought out and will cause people to think about the topic from multiple angles.
  • Compliments: I notice that Instagram is full of positivity and compliments, much more so than the other platforms. People like positive affirmation and it helps them to improve in the future to know what has been done well. Don’t lie and flatter the poster, though. It doesn’t help.
  • Keep it short: I get really annoyed when people post long comments without thinking through a concise way to say things. Facebook is bad about this because there are no limits to length. I think that is why Twitter limits to 280 characters. It increases the quality of comments because people can’t ramble on. On Instagram, the format means that people don’t feel the need to ramble.

Dorm life

         Dorm life at TAIS a fun and caring environment where we can get help with classes from we can enjoy the company of friends. In the study hall, we use the computer to do the homework, and we also go to discuss homework, and this is unnecessary because you just said we do homework. In the spiritual time, few people have Bible study with the pastor, Mr.Randy will give a health talk, and sometimes Mr.Calleb will tell about bible stories. The happiest thing about being here is making a friend. First I chat with my roommate, we talk about homework, game, sports, and anything else, we will use the chat when we have free time. Second, we go to night market and Yuchi together, when we go night market or Yuchi we eat many meets and go supermarket or 7-11 buy cookies, drinks, and candy, sometimes we will go play clip doll, this is fun for everybody. Third, my friends will help and teach English to me. So in the dorm life have many different interesting things to do. The dorm life is a good choice for me. I like dorm life.

2 thumbs up

I like this picture so much, because if you look at it, you will laughing it for a long time.

This picture is like me, because the woman is happy in the picture, we are funny too.
Her mouth is soo big when her laughing, just the same to me.

Her hair is long and curls, eyes are big,

But the only difference is she is thin, but I am so fat.

My first experience with Avatars

I downloaded an app called Bitmoji and took a selfie. It magically created a cartoon character that looked like me. Now I can express myself with cool emojis which look like me. Another cool feature is that it syncs with my Gboard on my phone and I can easily add these emojis into any conversation. I’m not sure how often I’ll use it yet.

I like volleyball, so this one fits me.
