Here - I don’t spend any time at those other places so I have no clue what they’re saying.

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.

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.

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.

Still being on Twitter would be a red flag...

Its objectively twitter/X.

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.

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.

Dear Lord, Facebook. I feel like my IQ drops 5 points just when the page is loading.

Twitter is clearly the worst by a huge margin

once you get a good block list, lemmy is fucking awesome

Insta is the only one i use and basically every post has awful comments that make me question humanity.

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.

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 🙈

oh, I already know what's wrong with these people

Reddit - Dunning Kruger: everyone thinks they’re experts in everything. Also psychotic mods.

Twitter - Nazis and Nerds: Anyone still on there for anything other than tech and some science news is either stupid or okay with supporting a Nazi.

Facebook - Anti-Vaxers and Pedophiles: the algorithm ensures that even the most hardcore science groups get flooded with anti-vax comments and intellectually disabled idiots.

Lemmy - Anti-Technologists: there’s a ravenous hatred for AI with zero consideration for how beneficial it is as a technology. Completely misdirected. Get pissed with the corrupt corporations and politicians selling out our privacy, content, land, water, and energy.

LinkedIn - Corporate sycophants and AI: want to talk about virtue signaling?

I see a lot of dumb or reactionary comments all over, but the most truly "what's wrong with" ones? Here, unfortunately 😅

Facebook, sometime i went there for some search or event info, and then it will always have those post and comment with brain dead take that always make me regret setting foot there.

They are all unhinged in their own way but yeah lemmy is the wackiest for sure.

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.

Recently i only lurk here historically 4chan by a large margin

What I recall of the latter three (left them several years ago) they are much worse than Lemmy.

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.

All of them have problems. Lemmy is arguably the least diverse and thus the biggest circlejerk.

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.

Lemmy

Facebook. I have to avoid reading comments on stories about transgender people because it's depressing how hateful people can be

Here. But considering the two biggest groups are socialist/anarchist tech geeks followed by people too crazy even for other SM, it's not surprising. Obviously the ones that make me proclaim "what's wrong with these people" are in the latter group.

In a good way, Bluesky. In a bad way, Reddit.

YouTube too!

YouTube is just... apathy. Like it could be a scathing expose of YT itself, and the comments would all be interchangable with vapid bot spam.

Since i am no longer on reddit or Twitter, i'd say IG.

Most of the garbage or stupidity or contentiousness being posted on all platforms these days is all generated by the chatbots that are integrated into each of the platforms' systems. There are literally zillions of them! It's just the way it is for now. But at some point, I'm sure that this ridiculousness will be virtually nonexistent on newer and better platforms to come.

For me, it is Telegram. Not generally, just some specific people and groups that I am in contact because of support for some social movement.

YouTube comments always surprise me with their stupidity. LiveGore comments are unsurprisingly abhorrent

Never had a Twitter. Left Instagram. So I guess it's between here and Reddit.

My issues with Reddit are pretty much just with the owners and various sub mods and generally how the platform is run. The user base is mostly on the same page as me.

The thing about Lemmy is there are a lot of tankies. A lot of "tHeY'rE bOtH tEh SaMe" advocates. And that shit pisses me off. But I like how the platform functions better. Less censorship. I'm not getting site-wide banned every 5 minutes.

I guess if we're talking about users specifically, Lemmy users piss me off more. But I'm also on this platform a lot more now than I am on Reddit, so maybe that's influencing my opinion.

None of them. I do not participate in participatory surveillance.
