Digital Etiquette

One of the most important guidelines for digital etiquette is being mindful of your words. When interacting with someone online, you should be careful to respect their word choice and not use coarse language that could offend or hurt them without realizing it. You also have the ability to choose how much personal information you share in any given situation when communicating digitally. One way this can happen is by using a pseudonym instead of your real name, which creates a level playing field between people who may feel they are receiving too much attention from others because they know one another personally and those who would otherwise prefer anonymity.
