Blurt is pioneering a more compassionate form of social media centered around vulnerability and authentic connection. A key feature that enables this is the ability to "witness" someone's post by leaving a comment of encouragement and support. However, many users may not have time to manually witness every post. This is where leveraging your witness or a proxy can make a big difference.
You have the power to uplift and validate others on Blurt through your witness. But life gets busy, and you may go periods without logging in. To ensure your witness consistently brings light to the Blurt community, consider these two options:
Use Your Witness - When you do have time to engage on Blurt, be intentional about witnessing posts. Seek out those that need compassion and take a few minutes to acknowledge their experience. Your words of empathy can provide relief and courage to users going through difficult times.
Use a Proxy - If you go through busier seasons, choose a trusted member of the Blurt community to be your proxy. They can use your witness periodically on your behalf when you are unable to. Make sure to select someone who is active on the platform and shares your spirit of wanting to spread kindness.
While nothing compares to the care of your first-hand witness, having a proxy activate your witness when you cannot is powerful. It creates a ripple effect of support that uplifts the Blurt ecosystem.
Blurt is building a unique culture of vulnerability and human connection. But this requires us to show up for each other, even when it's hard. By fully utilizing your witness and proxy, you can ensure you leave a meaningful impact on Blurt even during your most hectic days. Small acts of empathy go a long way. Your witness has the power to change lives.
