Rude, get out: 5 things why it’s high time to start deleting group chats

Group chats in instant messengers have become an integral part of life – this is how we communicate with teachers, neighbors, colleagues, family members. In these correspondences you can get a lot of useful information, but discussions often turn into a source of unpleasant emotions, because someone violates the unspoken boundaries of communication. Don’t kill the group atmosphere and do these things – and don’t let other people do them!

Do not demand that you re-say or repeat missed messages

Of course, no one demands that all messages be read immediately by all chat participants. But it’s terribly rude to ignore the history of correspondence again and again (and some say directly – “I’m too lazy to read!”) And to demand that you be updated.

Do not send inappropriate photos and videos

Frivolous messages or messages containing obscenities, political appeals and other sensitive content may be appropriate in friendly or topical discussions, but you should not expect neighbors or parents of classmates to l child react with understanding to a video with questionable content. And even if there are some of them who like the content, it will create an off-topic discussion that clogs the general conversation space. Yes, animated (and non-animated, too) greeting cards are also generally unacceptable in group chats.

Do not add new people without consulting existing members

It is clear that in the case of discussions between relatives or neighbors, this rule loses its meaning, all interested relatives and neighbors access these channels.

But even in a work chat, according to the rules of good manners, you must first introduce a new colleague and warn that from now on he will appear in the list of users. It is a) polite; b) get rid of any embarrassing incidents.

And even more, you can’t add a person to a group without getting their consent and availability!

Do not delete private group information

We all want to consider group chats as a really safe space and discuss more or less freely exciting and related issues on the topic of the conversation. This means that personal data, photos and videos posted in the group should not be shared without permission. And point.

Do not post at odd hours

This is especially true in the case of working cats. Of course, the easiest solution is to turn off notifications, but many people worry about missing out on really important information in group chats. Therefore, you should not abuse the trust and write to a collective group just because you wanted to, didn’t check your watch or didn’t think about the consequences.

You should not conduct “call fights”

Some members of collective groups like to have personal conversations in the collective space of correspondence. In addition, it can be a virtual fight and an exchange of jokes understandable only to two people – in any case, it is better to transfer such communication to private mode, and not to continue it in front of an audience surprised.

Don’t overuse emoticons, stickers and voice messages

In each group there is one person who just doesn’t seem to know how to write, so he expresses his thoughts in other available ways. Or maybe he thinks it’s more modern? Either way, this style of communication can be quite boring to others, and the informative content of these messages suffers.
