In spring 2020, I crafted myself 5 rules for how I would engage on Twitter. Generally, I think they've worked well for me:
1. Tweet with intent 🖋️
2. Stay positive 🙂
3. Engage in good faith 🫱🏿🫲🏻
4. You don't owe anyone a response 💁🏻♀️
5. Never feed the trolls 🧌

Excellent list, thank you,
Point 5 luckily was never an issue for me, my small account was never under attack. Point 2 has been key to me too, especially when posting on upsetting events --- always worth trying to encourage each other to look for positive next steps.
Point 1 is where I need to reign in on my excitable nature! The individual post always has intent, but there also needs to be a degree of conscious curation of my overall output, to create an overall message.
