JossGawin’s Be Kind Online Movement Aims to Bring Kindness Back to the Internet

JossGawin, a passionate community member, is making waves with a simple but powerful message: let’s be nicer to each other online. Tired of seeing negativity flood social media, JossGawin has started a grassroots movement to encourage people to think twice before posting hurtful comments or spreading hate. “I just want the internet to feel more like a friendly neighborhood,” JossGawin said in a recent chat. “We’re all real people behind these screens, and a little kindness can go a long way.”

A Simple Idea Born from Online Negativity

The idea came after JossGawin noticed how arguments and harsh words seemed to pile up online, especially on platforms like X. Instead of joining the fray, they decided to do something about it. They started sharing posts and talking to friends about small ways to make the internet a better place—like complimenting someone’s idea, ignoring trolls, or even just taking a break when tempers flare.

Kindness Made Easy

It’s not about big, fancy rules. JossGawin keeps it simple: “If you wouldn’t say it to someone’s face over coffee, maybe don’t type it.”

The message is catching on. People in the community have started using #BeKindOnline to share stories of positive interactions—like helping a stranger with a question or cheering someone up with a funny meme.

Small Wins, Big Impact

JossGawin isn’t pretending it’ll fix everything overnight. “There’s always going to be some grumpiness out there,” they admitted with a laugh. “But if even a few people pause and choose kindness, that’s a win.”

The movement’s picking up steam, with local schools and small businesses jumping in to spread the word. For JossGawin, it’s all about reminding folks that the online world doesn’t have to be a battleground. “We’ve got enough to deal with in life,” they said. “Why not make the internet a little brighter?”
