The internet is a brutal place at times. To some, it can ruin someone’s well-being. To others, it’s a Tuesday. But the apps I just listed can have stuff that makes you question humanity. So which one of them has the most comments that shows you the worst of humanity? And feel free to share examples and your reactions
Here - I don’t spend any time at those other places so I have no clue what they’re saying.
If you aren’t a Nazi why would anyone still be on Twitter?
If you think destroying the social fabric for advertising is cool keep using meta products
Reddit is just sad and bots.
Fediverse reminds me of early reddit, mostly cool, interesting people.
Check out this interesting bug photography I took. Praying mantis eating a fly.
Facebook makes me question humanity most tbh.
IG’s algorithm is so well-attuned that I very rarely see content I don’t like.
Twitter’s a dumpster fire I don’t touch. and Reddit is just phobic garbage nowadays.
Its the content you don’t see though.
IG’s thirst farming stuff is the absolute creepiest to me.
Every platform has its crazies. Even here, I frequently come across takes so ignorant and disconnected from reality that I wonder if the commenter fell through a portal from some parallel dimension.
Even on inane shit, the crazies really come out of the woodwork. I had someone suggest to me recently (on a different account) that I was a monster on par with Hitler for setting up Windows on my grandmother’s computer instead of forcing her to use Linux. She’s 87 and wants to type shit in word, she isn’t going to learn a whole new operating system and word processor for that when she can barely figure out how to log in to her email.
Lol. If you don’t bow down to the Linux gods the Lemmy mob will come for you in the dark of night.
Instagram for sure. Insane amount of Nazi comment, ragebait, racism and overall hatred.
I often feel like people on Instagram have not seen the sun light for a couple of months to a year.
You didn’t mention it, but 100% Facebook. Twitter is 2nd, but the edginess explains some of it away as cringe insecure angst. Facebook is people who are largely just incredibly fucking stupid and sheeplike.
Twitter is clearly the worst by a huge margin

Lemmy or LinkedIn. Facebook I long ago unfriended anyone crazy. Instagram I only have my dogs account and he just follows other dogs, so it’s quite nice.
Insta is the only one i use and basically every post has awful comments that make me question humanity.
oh, I already know what’s wrong with these people
Dear Lord, Facebook. I feel like my IQ drops 5 points just when the page is loading.
I generally understand what’s wrong with people on every platform except for Lemmy. Lemmy has its own strange where you really have to work at how they got to where they are now.
Mainstream news publications and online newspapers.
In Canada and Québec specifically, the tabloid Journal de Montréal has always had the most ridiculously detached comments of any other platform I know.
It’s closely followed by the comments on some CBC news articles.
Twitter.
What I recall of the latter three (left them several years ago) they are much worse than Lemmy.
