Social Media

1. Be Respectful & Inclusive: Our community is built on kindness, respect, and inclusivity. Treat everyone with courtesy, even if opinions differ.
2. Keep It Positive & Constructive: Share uplifting, supportive, and helpful content that encourages meaningful connections. No negativity, gossip, or harmful speech.
3. No Hard Selling or Spam: While we support local businesses, our pages aren’t a marketplace. Avoid excessive self-promotion, unsolicited sales pitches, or repetitive posting about your services.
4. Engage, Don’t Just Promote: We encourage networking, but relationships come first! Share, comment, and engage authentically rather than just dropping links to your business.
5. Respect Everyone’s Time & Attention: Keep posts relevant, concise, and aligned with our mission of community building and connection.
6. Cross-Pollinate Thoughtfully: Feel free to follow multiple LCCHub chapters and engage in discussions, but ensure contributions are meaningful and add value.
7. Stay On Topic: No Religious, Political, or Lobbying Content: To keep our group a welcoming and inclusive space for all, please avoid posting content related to religion, politics, lobbying, or any agenda-driven topics. Keep discussions focused on community, networking, and local initiatives.
8. Celebrate & Support Local: Give shoutouts to local businesses, initiatives, and individuals making a difference in the community.
9. Report Issues, Don’t Escalate: If you see something inappropriate or concerning, report it to an admin rather than engage in a public dispute.
10. Respect Privacy & Confidentiality: Don’t share private conversations, personal information, or sensitive details about others without their consent.
11. Use Hashtags & Mentions Wisely: If tagging a business or individual, ensure it’s relevant and appropriate. Over-tagging can be overwhelming.
12. Have Fun & Make Genuine Connections! Social media should be an enjoyable and welcoming extension of our in-person Meetups. Let’s keep the spirit of LCCHub alive online!
