Share personal news in a social post without inviting a circus

You want to share news online and fear comments going sideways. Get a post with boundaries.

Updated 17 Oct 2026

The prompt · ChatGPT

Write a social post for personal news.

News: [details]
Platform: [which]
What I'm open to: [congrats only / questions / nothing]
What people must not do: [advice, tagging, asking for details]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. A sendable post.
2. A shorter version.
3. Detail that invites bad comments — cut or keep with a boundary line.
4. A pinned first comment if useful.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, quotes or what the other person thinks. UK English.

Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.

A short example

Fill the blanks, then paste. details: a short note you already have. which: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
