    Hmm. Pretty much for everyone else as well… It has become worse that youtube comments over there.

    I am still over there occasionally, because some journalists whose updates I follow are only there. The worst part is that the more right wing trolls I block, the more seem to pop up.

      The bird.makeup instance allows you to follow any Twitter account without having to be on the site. I follow multiple Twitter accounts on mastodon with this method. If an account is missing go on the bird.makeup website and search for the profile, it will pop up on the fediverse soon

    I take exception to this title for being unnecessarily long, it should just read:

    X is the worst social media app

    Oh no, they don’t censor every opinion I don’t like, don’t remove every post that does not align with my worldviews as disinformation, and don’t forbid people to say bad words towards me while allowing me to do same towards them, what a horrible place!

      I don’t use corporate social media anymore, is Facebook actually taking on misinformation now?

        Facebook (Meta) actually has a cutting edge team that researches and fights disinformation, they publish some really cool research every few months I recommend reading it. Unfortunately, their efforts amount to pissing on a wildfire that the rest of the company is doing its best to dump gasoline on, since that team is under-resourced compared to the teams tasked with increasing user engagement.

    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.

    I accidentally replied to someone else with this but I meant to ask it in the replies.

    Lgbt nation being surprisingly anti-lgbt by refusing to tell everyone the best social media website for lgbt folk.

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

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

      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.

      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?

        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

    Twitter has never been great, just easy to use and widely adopted. It’s gotten worse under Musk and mostly appeals to the worst people left on the platform.

      It had its moments. Back in the day I had all the libraries and park feeds in my area on it. Could just plan out my week with my kids in one spot. Yes I tried using a RSS reader but the websites weren’t as updated as the Twitter feeds were.
