HIT ME UP WITH A COMMENT, DUDE!
County-Wise Reregistered Voting Counts in Kenya's 2022 Election
Riding the web, you'll often stumble upon the opportunity to drop a comment or reply. Here's how to knock 'em dead without stepping on any digital nettle-rash.
The Lowdown on Leaving a Comment
Golden Rules
Take care to evoke love, not loathing. Keep it classy and maintain an elegant dialogue. Make sure your contributions to conversations are meaningful, not madness.
Word Choice Matters
Keep it simple, soldier! Your aim is to ensure everyone's on the same page without sounding like a dull drainpipe quoting weighty tomes.
Self-Promotion Schmumbotion
Steer clear of shoving your stuff down people's throats. You creep 'em out, and they're about as welcoming as a herd of cacti in a hot tub.
Spreading the Truth, People!
Fact-checking is Lit!
Before you blurt-out stuff that'll make you look like a fool who swallowed Wikipedia whole, confirm it's got the truth!
TMI, IMHO
Protect your secrets, and theirs! You don't want to crack the security code of private lives, or make web-surfers grimace at your wanna-be-graphologist analysis of cat GIFs and pop culture.
Let's Get Technical
Spelling and Grammar, FTW!
Make sense, monkey! Not even Google can decipher an illiterate ape's message.
Text Formatting Fun
Wrap it up neatly, and don't shout at the screen—this ain't a rough weekend with the boys in a bar.
Emoji and GIF Delights
Much like a cherry on top or a great meme in the wild, emojis and GIFs can enliven a comment, but avoid the overkill!
Hang with the In-Crowd
Embrace the Convo
Approach others with kindness, and don't just lurk like a creepy hacker. Earn a cyber hug or two!
Respect Opinion Diversity
Put yourself in their shoes, and remember being different isn't always bad. Cherish the web as a jamboree of unique voices, not a squabble in the schoolyard!
In the midst of online discussions, particularly regarding general news like Kenyan politics or international events, it's important to maintain a respectful and classy demeanor, as per the guidelines for leaving comments. Avoid promoting self-interests and ensure that your points are meaningful, not disruptive.
Before joining the discussion, fact-check to ensure the information you share is accurate. Be mindful of TMI (Too Much Information) and avoid making personal assumptions or analysis that could invade privacy or create discomfort for others.
