Technology and social media can obviously be great, but if you haven't quite mastered your platforms and devices, things can get a bit chaotic.

It's easy to fall into hours of scrolling through Twitter or Instagram timelines, to get frustrated by trolls or annoying friends, and to completely mismanage your privacy settings. But don't lose hope. There are some helpful little ways to beat the system that will let you thrive online.

You probably know of a few already — like making a Finsta, which allows you to post any content you definitely don't want your family members or co-workers to see, or disabling location services on apps so companies don't geographically track your every move — but that's just the tip of the digital iceberg.

Here are 12 tech and social media hacks that will make your online life infinitely better.

1. Use the soft block

Ever had an insufferable Twitter follower — perhaps a Reply Guy — you wish you could banish from your timeline without upsetting or alerting them? There's a hack for that.

Instead of doing a full block, consider doing a soft block, a Twitter move that involves quickly blocking a user, and then unblocking them. Users don't know when you block them, but if your profile suddenly disappears, they might suspect it. But if you block thenunblock them, both of your accounts will unfollow each other. No harm, no foul.

The person may eventually realize a soft block occurred or assume there was a glitch and follow you back, but if that's the case, you can just soft block again! It's a nice, non-confrontational move, and there's always a chance that they'll never even notice you've unfollowed each other.

2. Use TweetDeck to avoid following people

If you're not already using TweetDeck to view Twitter on desktop, consider logging in and creating several list-based columns. Creating lists in TweetDeck will allow you to easily keep tabs on people — such as celebrities or politicians — without having to actually follow them, which is helpful if you want to keep track of the 2020 candidates but don't want your timeline flooded with politics, or you want to see tweets from the Kardashians but don't necessarily want anyone to know you're keeping up with them. Just make your lists private if you don't want to broadcast them to your followers.

3. Turn off read receipts in Twitter DMs

Twitter's default DM settings have read receipts turned on, which means you'll be able to tell when someone has seen a message you sent them, and vice versa. You can disable read receipts by visiting the "Settings and privacy" tab, then selecting "Privacy and safety" and unchecking the "Show read receipts" box. Just note that disabling them will also prevent you from seeing other people's read receipts.

4. Use Twitter keyboard shortcuts

You may be familiar with keyboard shortcuts on your laptop, but did you know Twitter has its own set? The shortcuts are listed under the "How To Tweet" section of the website and will help you navigate the platform with ease.
