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
Definitely Lemmy. I haven’t really used Twitter or Instagram though. When I visit Reddit, it’s usually just through search results.
Lemmy is often a very negative, dark place. It’s also lousy with armchair experts speaking with authoritative tone as if trying to demonstrate an example of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
I definitely don’t feel like I belong here, but I keep coming back for some reason 🙈
Really? I’ve found it to be the opposite. I left reddit because things felt so toxic with people yelling constantly about how we need to shut up and get with the program, don’t speak out, corporations are good, etc etc.
Meanwhile here I’ve seen lots of people genuinely critiquing systems and lots of memes that are amusing. Are some of them darker? Of course, we live in dark times.
But I also see many groups of people sharing information on alternative projects and programs to not be so reliant on the capitalist systems, sharing posts of how people are fighting back against the right wing fascist takeover.
Hell, right under this post in my feed was this picture.
I’ve found more hope and inspiration on Lemmy than I ever did on Reddit. Twitter was full of porn and Instagram is just a bunch of liberals (centrists) reposting reddit and facebook lol. Basically, a pressure release valve so you can post and “feel” like you did something without affecting any change.

??? Like I’m a reddit hater, but man you gotta go looking for that kind of agenda there
Its objectively twitter/X.

Dear Lord, Facebook. I feel like my IQ drops 5 points just when the page is loading.
Facebook. I have to avoid reading comments on stories about transgender people because it’s depressing how hateful people can be
Still being on Twitter would be a red flag…
I log off a couple days ago and never looked back
What the ever living fuck took so long
A full couple of days? Wow, mister, will you teach us?
They are all unhinged in their own way but yeah lemmy is the wackiest for sure.
It has to be here because I don’t use insta or twitter at all and I’m only looking at reddit for the Japan-specific subs to deal with tax/legal/disaster issues. So, simply by volume, this wins.
I reported a post the other day because it showed people dying in gif that auto-played and I couldn’t avoid. That user later DM’d me and called me a coward, so that was a new one. I browse /new so anything I haven’t explicitly blocked shows up.
Twitter allows you to say the N word. And openly share racist shit. They allow you to dox and make threats to anybody that isn’t aligned with Musk. It’s also full of bots that retweet.
The worst part is that it feeds Grok. So Grok-powered bots say racist shit that get fed back into Grok.
oh, I already know what’s wrong with these people
Insta is the only one i use and basically every post has awful comments that make me question humanity.
Instagram, I barely used it and I saw a lot of dumb stuff and a lot of AI content. Incredibly users seem to like that kind of garbage where a guy yells for some reasons or the AI slop content. People repost some of that content from Instagram and TikTok to Reddit. I never understood why they need to yell, do ridiculous things and all that on some actual useful information making it unbearable to watch.
I see a lot of dumb or reactionary comments all over, but the most truly “what’s wrong with” ones? Here, unfortunately 😅
Recently i only lurk here historically 4chan by a large margin
All of them have problems. Lemmy is arguably the least diverse and thus the biggest circlejerk.
