Social media (medsos) is usually a pretty interesting place to establish communication with old friends and make new connections. However, not infrequently annoying comments can ruin your experience.
Therefore, the medsos service gives way for you to fight it. Here are the steps you can take to protect your privacy and ward off trolls (users who have a goal to evoke emotional responses or anger from other users) in the world's two largest medsos such as Instagram and Twitter,
1. Twitter
As a default, Twitter allows public access to all your posts. However, this gives you the option of creating a personal profile, which means only approved followers will see a tweet and get in touch with you.
In private mode you lose some Twitter features, for example your followers can not retweet your tweets but instead you minimize the amount of undesirable attention you will get from the beginning.
If you want to set your account to a personal account, go to the Safety menu in your Twitter settings and check the box marked 'Protect My Tweets'. All your existing followers will automatically enter your private club.
If other Twitter users start harassing you, you have two ways to silence it that is silencing and blocking it. When you click the arrow on an individual tweet, a drop-down menu that includes both options will appear. In addition, you can also access this menu by clicking three dots on the profile page.
On profile, you can also report people for violating Twitter rules and terms and harsh or malicious content that is considered a violation.
2. Instagram
If your Instagram feed is set to public, Instagram users anywhere in the world can like or comment on them. However, for users who only certain people can see their photos, Instagram lets you organize your profile into private mode.
Just open the app and go to the Settings page. However, whether your Instagram account is private or public, certain users can still reach you. So, a pretty extreme way to take is to block the person you want.
They will not get notified that you have done this action (blocking), but they can no longer message you, view your Instagram feed or find your profile page on their network.
Another problem that Instagram users can encounter is the presence of people who leave inappropriate or rude comments on your images. You can point to your profile page, tap three dots (Android) or cog (iOS) icon. Choose a comment from the menu to hide certain words and phrases from your image.
Instagram has a default list of what he calls "the most unusual and inappropriate words" and you can add additional words you do not want to see as well. Comments that contain words in accordance with the list of automated illicit phrases will be hidden from your view.
