Most posts have likes or shares in the form of thumbs ups, two arrows, emojis, etc. Feel free to leave those out unless it's important to the clarity of the post. For example, if the text says something like "For every share I'll do [something]", it would be relevant to show how many times the post has been shared.

Sometimes it's hard to figure out what social media platform an image is of because of the graphical differences between app/desktop versions. If you are unsure, feel free to declare it as Image Transcription: Social Media.

Useful Notes:

• Names are usually censored for privacy reasons, so instead use the color the submitter used to censor the name. i.e. Red, Blue, Pink, etc. For multiple users censored with the same colour, use User 1,User 2, etc. For a single user, you can also use Redacted or [Redacted] (or similar, by formatting the word "Censored"). Please DO NOT use bold with brackets like [Censored].
• Check with the place you're transcribing for rules about personal information! Most do not allow it. Please check to be certain!
• Do not include dates or times unless these are required for the context of the content.
• Do not include Retweets, Shares, Likes, etc, unless it is truly relevant to the context and/or content of the post.
• Make sure to tell the difference between standalone posts and replies to posts. If a post includes an original tweet and a reply, use block quote > for the reply.
• If the text to be transcribed includes emojis, please copy and paste the emoji into your transcription; we suggest emojipedia.org. Do not describe the emoji, unless it is a custom emoji.

How to spot a Facebook post

2. If the username says something like [Redacted] is with you and 12 others.
3. If the username says something like [Redacted] is feeling anxious/lonely/happy/ watching Star Wars.
