Question 3: When we think about online spaces that feel kind and respectful, what sorts of behaviours and communication are we seeing in those spaces? What makes an online space feel welcoming and respectful?

 

I agree with what others have said, including:

  • support in how to use online spaces, including encouragements to keep personal details safe & follow group rules (where appropriate)
  • acknowledgement of information offered, particularly if something challenging shared
  • validation of experience, including others with similar experiences or feelings
  • relevant suggestions of things that might be helpful, without judgement or telling someone that they should do a certain action
  • I appreciate gentle welcoming, and even an occasional @tag to things that people think I may be interested in. But sometimes I feel that people tag me excessively in things that I have shown no interest in & that makes me feel uncomfortable.

 

Some really great points @CrazyChick! I really value that feedback about the tagging as well, such an important point that there are times we might be tagged in areas we are not comfortable to respond in. This is something we may want to explore further as a community as well 🙂
