 - **Beware of acronyms:** Do not assume that everyone knows the acronyms you use in your material, even the most common such as VPN (Virtual Private Network). Always make sure to write the whole expression at least once before carrying on with the acronym's letters only.
 
-- **Explain technologies:** As for acronyms, don't assume that everyone has the same knowledge as you when it comes to technology, even the technologies that seem basic to you. Perhaps you have been in tech for so long that you have forgotten not everyone knows what an Operating System (OS) is. Nevertheless, make sure to provide a short explanation or example to keep your content welcoming to beginners. If you talk about Operating Systems, perhaps also add "such as macOS, Windows, or Linux" to make your point more accessible.

-- **Start with the basics:** Depending on the context, do not neglect to discuss the most basic privacy concepts before jumping in the juicy tech. Fundamental ideas such as consent, data collection, data storage, or encryption are important to master in order to understand the benefits and dangers related to data privacy. Specific tech and services come and go, but *fundamental* ideas remain. Anyone who comprehend well these core concepts will have a much easier time understanding all that follows.

-- **No stupid questions:** There are no stupid questions, only impatient answerers. Whenever a beginner asks a question that seems obvious to you, refrain from replying with something dry or snarky such as "Google it," or its privacy-equivalent "DuckDuckGo it." This only has for effect to chase people away from our community. If you don't feel like helping, just reply nothing. But if you do want to help, try to find an answer for them. If you are in a rush, something like "Hey! Sorry I don't have the answer, but maybe this [resource](../../basics/why-privacy-matters.md) might be helpful to you!" or "Sorry I'm not sure, but perhaps asking on this [forum](https://discuss.privacyguides.net/) might get you an answer."

 - **Stay patient and compassionate:** Always stay patient with beginners and newcomers (and everyone else, actually). To keep people fighting with us and grow our movement, we cannot afford to lose anyone just because we felt angry that day. Develop your [empathy skills](tip-support-your-privacy-comrades.md) to provide support and reply with compassion. People stay where they feel safe and welcomed. ==Make them feel safe and welcomed.==
