# Social Media Strategies

We are being suppressed on social media, they hide our posts and place us lower in the search results.

**What can you do to help?**

Nervous about Social Media? - Check out: [A Nervous Rebel's Guide to Social Media](https://rebeltoolkit.extinctionrebellion.uk/books/a-nervous-rebels-guide-to-social-media)

* **COMMENT ON FACEBOOK**

It is not enough to simply like a post to give it attention
If you see an XR Post Comment on it - this boosts the profile of the post
If you see an XR post with NO Comments, give it some love and attention and share with your groups!
If you see a post with a lot of negative comments 
Give the post some love
Share it with your XR groups to give it some love!

* **RETWEET ON TWITTER**

Go beyond liking a post!
Retweet to boost it! Even better, quote the Tweet with your own words / hashtags
Make sure to repeat the hashtags from the original post as well as the generic ones
#WeWantToLive #ExtinctionRebellion #ActNow
Have a look at the threads, if there is a lot of negativity share it with us so we can love bomb them and drown out the trolls!

* **INSTAGRAM**

Make the most of the Hashtags!
Share posts to your Story and tag @xrebellionuk and @extinctionrebellion
Comment on Posts showing support and use our Hashtags

If you are on other social media sites and are comfortable using them - Go fo it! Create a community.
