While SNS is fun, there are some things you can avoid if you know about them before you start. If you decide on small rules in advance, it will be easier for you and your friends to follow them.
I tell them that rather than increasing the number of people they connect with, it is important to choose people they feel comfortable talking to.
Peace of mind matters more than numbers
Having a lot of friends may seem like a big deal. However, when you connect with people you don't know or don't know well, the things you have to be careful about suddenly increase.
Be careful with people who only seem familiar
Just because the icon or name looks familiar, you can't really tell who the person is. A secure connection will last longer, even if you don't force it.
When a friend request arrives, ask yourself two things: Have we really met before? Would I feel comfortable talking with this person?
At Digital Kodomo BASE, we value the preparation to protect ourselves as much as the fun of connecting. Thinking before you start will give you a lot of peace of mind later.
