Episode 46: Social Media Etiquette – What Not to Post!
Content note: This episode discusses cyberbullying, online harassment, and scams.
Nothing is graphic. If you’re in crisis, call or text 988 anytime — the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is free and available 24/7.
We treat online life like it’s less real than the rest of our lives — but there’s a real person on the other side of every screen, and a post can outlast the moment that made it.
This week Greg, Rich, Liam, and Sarah work through six ordinary posting dilemmas — from a joke scheduled before bad news to a friend live-tagging an empty house — and land on one simple habit that makes almost every gray area easier.
It’s not a lecture about doing it wrong. It’s permission to slow down the half-second before you hit “post.”
In this episode:
Why “deleted” doesn’t always mean gone
Consent — for kids, friends, screenshots, and stories that aren’t only yours
Digital footprints, oversharing, and how a post can follow you to work
Scams, privacy, and what actually keeps you safer
Cyberbullying and how to step out of a pile-on
The five questions to ask before you post
