Actually, Xitter is the worst social media app for society, not just LGBTQ+ people.

also rating social media apps is like rating your favourite STDs

Murdoc ,

Umm, does that include Lemmy?

pivot_root ,

I hope you used protection!

metaStatic ,

depends if you think anonymous interactions are as impactful as people you actually know.

oh god, is this actually worse?

afraid_of_zombies ,

I haven’t seen that. If you piss off the group mind here you pretty much move on. On real social media you have to worry that someone will just show up at your home.

Message boards aren’t social media.

That’s good, that means my use is healthy

I always get confused in this thought. So if govt bans twitter(hypothesis) and these people spread to other better places, will they improve or is it better to leave these vile beings among themselves to rot in their twitter or whatever.

Pechente ,

A lot of these hateful beliefs are reinforced by these people’s filter bubbles. Forcing them to other places can improve the overall situation.

Eyck_of_denesle ,

What if the whole country is an echo chamber of hate. What to do then?

afraid_of_zombies ,

I am okay with the group mind. YouTube kept suggesting Pragur and Epoch times to me.

It finally stopped when I told them in the report video that if I saw another suggestion for Epoch times I will physically go there and scream at them about their YouTube ads until I am dragged out of the building.

BallotOrTheBullet ,

The problem is they took a healthy user base and injected hate speech into it. People thinking they need to preserve the space didn’t get the message that they need to get out, so now elon is free to subjugate them. Now you have multiple entrenched sides that will erode at each other’s goodwill until it blossoms into contempt and the cycle of human suffering continues.

At the same time other platforms can’t thrive because they are overshadowed by the suffering machine.

Free twitter.

The US government isn’t going to ban X, it is based in the US. They only go after tik Tok and other foreign owned ones.

Eyck_of_denesle ,

“hypothesis”

afraid_of_zombies ,

Facts.

Rooskie91 ,

There’s a theory that part of the problem is that social media aggregates too many different people in one place. Our brains naturally create in groups and out groups, making conflict and toxicity inevitable.

    Sounds dope, never heard of it. Looks like it’s a dating site though? Never used one of those and have had a forever partner before they got popular, so I’m not sure it’s for me.

    …I’ve also never used Twitter so I have no idea lawl

    Well that makes sense, after all, Nazi bars do tend to be hostile to members of any minority group and Twitter is the biggest Nazi bar on the internet.

    paraphrand ,

    Oof, the article goes on to say all the platforms failed. X just failed a bit more.

    This is going to lead to some “well, they’re all about the same.” discourse shenanigans.

    What did TikTok do better than the rest? Be annoyingly vertical and short form?

    I’m genuinely surprised something owned partly by the Chinese government isn’t at the bottom.

    On the Chinese only servers they forbsure don’t allow it

    It drives conflict to the point that neither side of the political torus can speak to each other in a civil manner. “If his forces are united, separate them.” - sun tzu

    Less accent on actual interactions between fellow consumers plus genZ prevalence?

    Zerfallen ,

    Governments told kids they shouldn’t use it. So it naturally became more popular.

    I’m surprised those scores are so high honestly

    It’s fuckin hard being queer on social media

    radicalautonomy ,

    I gotta say, I am pleasantly surprised by Lemmy. I almost never see anything but antifascist allies, and when I do those allies jump that motherfucker’s shit.

    Gormadt ,
    @Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

    Lemmy has it’s own dens of awful that simp pretty hard for dictators and some pretty shitty regimes

    Luckily my instance is defederated from the worst one (IMO)

    Lemmy is definitely a lot more accepting of queer people though which I really dig

    X is the worst social media app for LGBTQ+ people

    No wait…

    X is the worst social media app for LGBTQ+ people

    Oh almost forgot…

    X Twitter is the worst social media app for LGBTQ+ people

    There were go.

    Imgonnatrythis ,

    I dunno. I think X may be the least biased platform ever. It’s complete shit regardless of who you are.

    pivot_root ,

    It’s pretty good if you’re a Nazi or Elon fan, I imagine.

    Mastodon is pretty great for queer people. Better than lemmy I would say (and obviously better than the mainstream apps) …

    nomadjoanne ,

    I like Mastadon. Farwss drama than on Lemmy (or Twitter).

    Jolteon ,

    Lemmy is probably the worst social network in terms of discrimination against Windows users.

    Really? I would say it’s the best for discrimination against Windows users. Better then even old school slashdot.

    a) funny b) were you around for USENET ? it was occasionally troublesome in the same way.

    That’s a bit of a weird thing to say if you ask me, as Lemmy and Mastodon is both just the fediverse and they are connected. So surely it just depends who/what you follow?

    GnomeKat ,
    @GnomeKat@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

    They are connected but in practice there is definitely a big separation between lemmy and mastodon… you see mastodon posts on mastodon, lemmy posts on lemmy. yes its possible to view lemmy posts on mastodon but its fucking garbage integration, i have never seen a lemmy posts boosted on mastodon it just doesn’t happen… if I see a mastodon post here its in the form of a screen shot… the communities are effectively separate

    taiyang ,

    Meanwhile, Tumblr is (or was?) incredibly queer back when I used it. Where’s the love?

    Reddit should have got a mention, but you know who really wins? Good ol’ Lemmy-- LGBTQ (especially T) representing here. Although that’s cheating cause we have blahaj, haha (not like the Fediverse will ever get mentioned, lol)

    MeanPresentation80 ,

    Just discovered mastodont recently, pretty good alternative too

    Worse than Truth Social? Press X to doubt.

    baru ,

    Truth Social is just a way to get money to Trump. Scam/money laundering/bribing. With max a few million/year in revenue I wouldn’t compare it to actual social media apps.

    photonic_sorcerer ,

    It’s got a pretty large and active userbase though. I’d call that social media.

    mPony ,

    the word “cesspit” was used elsewhere in this thread and I think it’s a remarkably useful word

    drislands ,

    That would require that it be a social media platform, as supposed to a money laundering front.

    photonic_sorcerer ,

    As long as the users are there and active, it’s a social media platform, too.

    tudor ,

    Except the only user is Trump himself

    laurelraven ,

    I think Truth Social is more of a fascist media app than a social one
