It may sound cliche but thinking of what is happening right now in the Social Media is alarming. How easily we can ruined a persons credibility in a way that everyone might possibly believe.
Social media is powerful. This is because it is accessible to all even to the young generations. It is real-time so a simple hi and hello can lead to misunderstanding.
We all have the right to freedom of expression. But that doesn't mean that we are free to say whatever we want to say even if it's a lie and can hurt somebody. Be sensitive to other feelings. Honestly, it is hard to tell whose telling the truth or not because everyone can fake ones personality.
In FaceBook, it is easy to create a fake or dummy accounts. We can make multiple accounts. From that multiple accounts, we can make different profile pictures even the photos of a person we want to destruct. Since we are using a different profile picture and not our real accounts, we can post anything against a certain person we hate.
The Bashers
Bashers is a social media term for a person who always judges or monitors the person he/she hates through social media platforms. It usually happens in Facebook or Instagram or Twitter. Every posts or pictures of a person they hate are comments from bashers which are negative. Most of the times, those comments are offensive and out of the boundaries.
Nowadays, even the famous personalities in showbizness or even in politics can be criticized. Those bashers are not afraid to say anything because they are using fake accounts. They will not be distinguished because there are no any identification of their true personalities. They are only using codes or any names they want to use.
For example, a famous celebrity actress who flaunt her body in social media to show how proud she is. Then different bashers will comment. Either its body shaming or will try to ruined the actress posts. If the celebrity will comment, the basher will reply as much as he/she can because again, its not the real identity.
But as I noticed, those bashers are hidden supporters. They support people but in a negative way. They just see the negative side and comment it straight to the person. So the person might change because of the bad comments he/she has been receiving. It can be a tool for a person to change. Those comments maybe negative or harsh but in the end, they will take it as a publicity and they get famous from it.
Think Before Click
I noticed that most of us does not have control with the use of social media platforms mainly Facebook. We should be careful on what we post. There are those who use it against the person they want to avenge.
Some examples are saying something about the person who does not pay their debts. It is their way to payback and embarassed the person who does not pay them. But we don't know the real reason behind why he/she was unable to pay the debts. Why do we need to broadcast it? Does that makes us happy embarassing someone?
Some couples exchange messages in social media which shows their fights. They didn't know that all people knew what they were fighting for. That people will start talking about their issues in life.
There are also active users. Being active that when someonee posr anything about politics or known issue, they will react or comment immediately if it doesn't meet their beliefs. They will proudly explain whst they believe especially if they are good at it. Until someone will react to his message until they already fighr and exchange comments
There are also those who do live selling. It is an effective way to sell their products because people can see the actual item they are selling. But some abused it because they tend to attact buyers by wearing attractive outfits that caught the viewers attention. It increases views and then the possible earnings once the viewers or customers purchase the product.
Let us be reaponsible when purchasing online. Due to Covid-19, most of us purchase online. We should think first when buying items. Make sure that it will be useful to us. Not because everyone is buying doesn't mean it will be useful to all. Money is important. Think before we click and purchase.
The Positive Sides
There is also the good side of Social Media if used wisely:
There we can have communication with lost friends.
We can meet new friends.
Help people earn if you have a business and you can easily invite them as long as its legal.
You can find your perfect match.
You can create a page for your group in FaceBook so you can update each other if you have any invitation or just want to greet and simply communicate.
My Final Say
Always remember to think seriously first before doing any actions. It can be through social media or even in our everyday lives.
Think first. Do not react immediately especially if you are very angry. Like what I've been saying, do not decide when you are mad. Let everything cool down first then after a while, that is the time to decide. Especially in social media, the minute you do something wrong, it can change everything about you fast-paced.
If you think you have fully understand and read a message or an article, that is the time to click or react.
Think before we click.

There was a famous person who said that "do not make decision when you are angry". I forgot who he is .😁 Makakalimutin na talaga ako masyado. True sis, sobrang toxic na ng social media ngayon. Ang dami ng trolls at bashers. Everytime na nag-oopen ako ng fb, iniiskip ko talaga ang mga about politics or showbiz. Nakakabad vibes kasi sila.
