"'Mute' and 'Block' are great tools to use with abandon, too. They give you the ability to temporarily mute or completely block people, topics, keywords, and so on. Take some of the tools that are available in any number of apps and use them to build a platform experience that works best for your style of online interaction."

"The best kind of organic social media interactions, I find, result from one of the parties attempting to make a connection ("hey, you know So-and-So?" or "I grew up right near you!") or joining in a conversation as a positive contributor. Then, authentic debate might happen in a potentially productive way. Being a good steward of your little chunk of social media might make you feel like a hall monitor at times, but it also probably makes you a happier social media user," Professor Bowen concluded.
