I was thinking the other day about how people are saying social media is toxic. It is if you allow yourself to see it; if you don’t want to see particular topics you can mute them.

If you don’t want to receive emails about particular topics, unsubscribe.

If you don’t want calls from people, block their numbers.

If you don’t want people to contact you again on LinkedIn, block them.

The digital world is different to the real world and usual conventions like respect, fairness, and honesty don’t necessarily apply. In an active online world, you have to be active in your actions, even if that means withdrawing from some spaces.
