Hello! How can I help you today?<|im_end|>

I'm having trouble understanding social media etiquette. What's the rule about following someone back on social media?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Generally, it's considered polite to follow someone back if they follow you first, especially if you know them personally or have a connection. However, it's not a hard and fast rule, and you should only follow accounts that interest you.<|im_end|>

That makes sense. What if someone sends me a direct message, but I don't know them very well? Should I respond?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
If someone sends you a direct message, it's a good idea to respond, even if you don't know them well. A simple "hello" or acknowledgement is fine, but be cautious about sharing personal info or engaging in long conversations with strangers.<|im_end|>

Okay, got it. One last thing - what's the best way to handle trolls or mean comments online?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
If someone leaves a mean comment, it's best to ignore it and not engage. Block the user if necessary, and report the comment to the platform if it's harassment or bullying.<|im_end|>
