Communicating with me

Introduction:

I receive many messages on various social media and my responses to them vary based on many factors. I decided to write a little info here in order to demystify some misconceptions when communicating with me.




Thesis:

I generally chat back and forth with authentic users who are not anonymous, articulate and can curry on a civil conversation without the need to resort to insults. However, I also chat with anonymous users under certain conditions I explain below in the article. 


In general, I stay away from users who resort to insults and profanities when trying to communicate their point. I consider such users degenerate and in order to communicate with them, one must stoop down to their level, which I will not do.



Article:

My definition of authentic users who are not anonymous is someone with verified social media blogging content they made themselves and where you can see their image with face and other information about them. 


You can take me for example, if you go to my X account or my personal website isydia.com you will be able to tell that I am not anonymous and that I am an authentic user.

  • You can see my portrait pictures

  • You can find information about which country and city I live in

  • You will know what I do for a living

  • You will know my marital status and who my partner is.

  • You can find all my social media and I’m not anonymous on all of them

  • You will see a clear way on how to contact me 

Among many other information I made public.


If your online profile does not contain the above, i.e.

  • Your social media contains reblogged content or memes

  • You have a profile picture that can’t be verified (i.e. could be not your real image)

  • No meaningful information about you . etc…

I will consider you anonymous


Some users prefer to be anonymous for various reasons, some are legitimate. However, if you want to communicate with me then you will go by my rules, if you want me to respond to you in a meaningful way.


How to chat with me if you are anonymous

An important thing to note is that I will immediately put you in the suspicious category when you are anonymous. The internet is full of fraudsters and proceeding with extreme caution is not unwarranted.


Therefore, here is what I look for if you decide to communicate with me when you are an anonymous user, and expect a meaningful response:

  1. Tell me your name, country and city you live in.

  2. State the purpose of your message. (very important, idle conversations get ignored, or simply will go nowhere with me)

  3. Be direct and don’t beat around the bushes

  4. Keep the conversation civil, refrain from using profanities or insults

  5. If your intention is to make friends, then:

    1. Send two clear, well lit images of yourself. First image should be a portrait showing your face and eyes. Second image is a full body image to see you as a whole.

    2. Send me a list of your social media where your images can be verified.


The above information will give you the benefit of doubt and will start you on a more trusted foot step than being anonymous under a suspicious category.


The best method of contact

I use X platform as my main social media. Contacting me on X is my preferred method. 



Conclusion:

You might not agree with my methods of communication or think it’s a bit too much and that’s OK. After all, it is my rule and no one is forcing you to do anything you don’t want.


From my perspective, I receive many messages from all kinds of people and not all are genuine.

LGBTQ+ explained in layman's terms and extremely simplified PodCast #11

Introduction : This article is written in the opinion of isydia. To see Kissra’s opinions and views, look for her articles labeled “Kissra” under PodCast #11 Life is about having experiences that align with your personal being. Embracing diversity enriches our collective experience; a world filled only with reflections of oneself would lack the vibrancy and depth that diverse perspectives bring. Life becomes more fulfilling when we engage with people who aren't carbon copies of ourselves, fostering personal growth and expanding our understanding. Therefore, I will not intentionally make someone’s life more difficult simply because their life differs from mine. Having said the above, if some individuals happen to be attracted to someone of the same sex or who identifies with a gender different from the one assigned to them at birth, I would say power to them. This article will be heavily simplified and will be mainly geared towards people who are  straight hetrosexuals  with co...

Guns and the citizens that own them - PodCast #17

Introduction : I am writing this article because many people on social media asked me about my views concerning guns, if I’m pro or against government gun control.  People in Canada and USA are passionate about the subject and generally they have a made up viewpoint about guns, leaving a very few minority who are neutral or don’t have an opinion about the subject. Every time I try to ask questions about the subject I get idiotic responses filled with insults by both sides telling me how stupid I am thinking this way or the other way. Perhaps I’m writing this article in order to avoid insults in a civilized discussion about an important subject.  Thesis : Whenever I think about whether the government should ban guns or allow law abiding citizens to own them for self defense against criminals who do not follow the rules nor care about gun control; I always ask the question: Why do people think guns are a bad thing and not the humans who are using them? Especially when criminal...
