Everyone is so grateful for the celebration that’s going to happen on the timeline *but* I’d like to suggest some etiquette for Twitter for Match Day, after watching some virtual missteps last year.
A mini

1) Please let us announce (or not announce) on our own time and give folks a chance to feel their emotions with friends and family and not blow up their mentions or DMs as soon as emails come out.
2) Respect the detail that folks choose to provide. If they don’t say where- please don’t ask.
3) Similarly, please don’t ask if that was their number one choice. That’s personal and folks will disclose as they desire to.

4) If folks are couples matching (or have a partner) please don’t press for info on where their partner matched or how their partner feels.
5) If you know where they matched, but they don’t announce it, please don’t comment it. Please don’t try to guess where.
5) If you know where they matched, but they don’t announce it, please don’t comment it. Please don’t try to guess where.
6) Please don’t gaslight people’s emotions. If someone is happy please don’t comment saying “you’ll regret this soon” or if they express sadness don’t brush it off with “you’ll be happy in the end.” Let folks feel their own feelings on their time.
In case you’re noticing a common theme: please let people choose what to disclose and what not to disclose. Please don’t press for extra info or try to otherwise draw it out. Let them have their own emotions about it. Thank you in advance
