Do you feel pressure to check, post or to respond to others? Explain. louma6 https://padlet.com/louma6/sikyuzm9kt8uw15j/wish/608868913 I check my Instagram account a few times a day, however at this point I only check to respond to texts. I don't bother too much about the media being posted by other people. I don't feel pressured to check what they post, however instead my direct messages as that's one major way my friends and I connect as I don't have a phone number. I also don't feel pressured to post, as I post what I want and whenever I want.]]> 2020-06-03 13:16:51 UTC https://padlet.com/louma6/sikyuzm9kt8uw15j/wish/608868913 What are 5 top tips you have for someone who might be starting on social media? State the tips and explain. louma6 https://padlet.com/louma6/sikyuzm9kt8uw15j/wish/608879041 I think my top tips for someone starting on social media would be:
1. set your account on private first (you can change this later if you feel comfortable)
2. connect/add your friends
3. ask your friends how the platform works
4. only talk to people you know 
5. avoid chainmail

I think these tips would help keep someone safe, especially when they do not know the platform that well. Setting up security to keep away from potential predators by setting a private account means unless you allow them, random people cannot see your profile/talk to you. Adding/connecting with your friends is what makes social media fun. They can help you get used to the platform. Lastly, chainmail that is sent though dms are completely useless. If you don't send that paragraph to 15 people, your mother will not be harmed. Trust me.]]> 2020-06-03 13:21:24 UTC https://padlet.com/louma6/sikyuzm9kt8uw15j/wish/608879041 louma6 https://padlet.com/louma6/sikyuzm9kt8uw15j/wish/608899567 2020-06-03 13:30:32 UTC https://padlet.com/louma6/sikyuzm9kt8uw15j/wish/608899567 louma6 https://padlet.com/louma6/sikyuzm9kt8uw15j/wish/608902583 This is one example from my account who randomly dmed me. ]]> 2020-06-03 13:32:00 UTC https://padlet.com/louma6/sikyuzm9kt8uw15j/wish/608902583 louma6 https://padlet.com/louma6/sikyuzm9kt8uw15j/wish/608907336 2020-06-03 13:34:21 UTC https://padlet.com/louma6/sikyuzm9kt8uw15j/wish/608907336 louma6 https://padlet.com/louma6/sikyuzm9kt8uw15j/wish/608908091 chainmail example in my dms]]> 2020-06-03 13:34:42 UTC https://padlet.com/louma6/sikyuzm9kt8uw15j/wish/608908091 “On social media, you can edit yourself to who you want to be. Meanwhile, in person, you’re stuck with who you really are. It’s a constant battle that everyone faces whether they admit it or not.” (Humza Deas) louma6 https://padlet.com/louma6/sikyuzm9kt8uw15j/wish/608911695 I think this quote is a good representative for the influencers on Instagram and many other individuals. However, it doesn't capture what social media is like for our grade. I believe that most of us are extremely true to ourselves, especially since we already know each other in real life. 
Overall, I think this is a good documentary, and it shows both the best and the worst of social media. However, I don't think it applies too much to how I use social media.]]> 2020-06-03 13:36:25 UTC https://padlet.com/louma6/sikyuzm9kt8uw15j/wish/608911695 examples: louma6 https://padlet.com/louma6/sikyuzm9kt8uw15j/wish/608914940 2020-06-03 13:38:01 UTC https://padlet.com/louma6/sikyuzm9kt8uw15j/wish/608914940
