Empathy, and a sense of humour go a long way.
Not to get bothered if you post and suddenly you realise that after your post the thread dies and you think you killed it. You may well of. 😶
Don't get involved with trolls posting who are just itching for an argument or to have an excuse to insult you and what you post. 😤
Realise that some posters have absolutely no interest in you or what you post. 😠

The ability to accept that those who pretend to be your friends are not.
Life as an Enforcement Officer was really very simple,bad and good.
The Internet is not.
I always think that a good friend doesn't always say what you want to hear, they tell you the truth! After all who wants a friend that isn't honest with you?

You can answer this question as seriously or as funny as you like!
Don't admit to buying The Daily Mail (and liking it). Dailymailophobia has never been so virulent. Their hatred towards it - and by extension its readers, has never been so bitter.
Don't point out any "elephants in the room" when it comes to certain issues.
Don't be too good when it comes to out-debating the snowflakes and mass unfettered immigration zealots. It will give them no other option than to silence you. They simply cannot take it.

I think it is sometimes safer not to enter into some discussions.

Able to help with advice if asked.
The ability to join in, eg post pictures etc.
A sense of humour is advisable & an ability not to take offence as the typed wording can be misconstrued at times.
Finally to have fun in the virtual world you chose to be in.
