@BrocktheJock7 Social media has evolved so much and many people are so fortunate to be able to use as an avenue for success. Gain a following, review things, get brand deals, extend on that

[Lydia Nigro @LydiaNigro2]

To which extent would we be able to control our online reputation?
I think a max extent - we control what we put out there, and images, videos, comments we share says alot about who we are and our personal opinions on things - but not everyone will agree #edst1160u

[Lydia Nigro @LydiaNigro2]

@RobinFindlay2 I think it's okay to post pictures of your children, it seems my feed is full of them.. it's just being mindful of who you are sharing things with. Correct privacy settings, and no personal info showing in the back like any address info.

[Lydia Nigro @LydiaNigro2]

@Anneice8 It's like that saying "once you put something out there, it's there forever".. this is actually called “digital permanence."

[Lydia Nigro @LydiaNigro2]

@JennJade5477 Turning your privacy settings on, and not posting any personal information can prevent others from using or copying it. It's important to ensure we keep our info safe so others dont do anything negative with it, or use it against you.

@1MariahThompson Thanks for sharing that way! I know twitter limits the character use. I agree though, it's better to form a stronger meaningful connection with someone in person. As humans we are full of emotion and expression!

Q'S PART 3:

3. How has social media or online platforms changed since the pandemic?

4. Do you prefer connecting on social media or in person? Why?

#EDST1160U

[Lydia Nigro @LydiaNigro2]

@RebeccaOnTech I love to hear that! It's amazing the resources, and support we can find online. I know while many prefer F2F, we are so fortunate to have a virtual option. Many suffer with extreme social anxiety and other mental health issues, so thanks for sharing that & I'm glad they're okay!

Hi everyone,
our group (GM2BLate) Lydia N, Jen H, Marco P, Anas M and Anneice will be sharing our questions here
Pick 1-2 questions of most interest to you to spark different conversations and discussions.

1.What effect has social media had on people's mental health?

#EDST1160U

[Lydia Nigro @LydiaNigro2]

@RebeccaOnTech @AishaUs1990 Interesting take, and connection! I felt the same way - but while unfortunate for us, it was beneficial to those who could make a living on youtube, or now tik tok even! Brand deals, sponsorships.. gave others job opportunities.

[Lydia Nigro @LydiaNigro2]

@MehakChatrath Absolutely! Facial expressions, tone of voice, and body language! Definitely a better indicator of how they are feeling and acting, even though virtually can be more quick and convenient!

[Lydia Nigro @LydiaNigro2]

@Cerian_Smith1 @iryna_ivaniv We are addicted! We're only human, but how can we look at things and not compare ourselves? It's natural, but at what risk? I've found it beneficial to delete my apps and take a break at times! Work on me!

[Lydia Nigro @LydiaNigro2]

@__vithushan I agree! It's definitely something we all struggled with, and it ties into our mental heath question - it took such a toll since we're unable to do the things we used to, and go to a friend in person for comfort!

[Lydia Nigro @LydiaNigro2]

@ShayanA919 Interesting take! You’re absolutely right, I initially thought that more people just used social media in general because of lockdown and lack of things to do. But in doing that, like you said people are sharing more of their negativity !

Q'S PART 2.
2. With so many positives of social media, there come many negatives, why do you think there is such a toxicity amongst certain platforms and do you think the level of toxicity changes from platform to platform?
