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
