Actually, in my opinion, Xitter is the worst social media app for society, not just LGBTQ+ people.
“This thing that is terrible for everyone is also terrible for this specific subset of everyone …”
also rating social media apps is like rating your favourite STDs
Umm, does that include Lemmy?
I hope you used protection!
Message boards aren’t social media.
That’s good, that means my use is healthy
depends if you think anonymous interactions are as impactful as people you actually know.
oh god, is this actually worse?
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.
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.
A lot of these hateful beliefs are reinforced by these people’s filter bubbles. Forcing them to other places can improve the overall situation.
X is the worst social media
app for LGBTQ+ peopleFixed that for you.
Full stop indeed.
.
Let me fix that for ya…
X is the worst social media app
for LGBTQ+ peopleNo wait…
X is the worst
social media app for LGBTQ+ peopleOh almost forgot…
XTwitter is the worstsocial media app for LGBTQ+ peopleThere were go.
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.
Removed
Really? I would say it’s the best for discrimination against Windows users. Better then even old school slashdot.
Lemmy is probably the worst social network in terms of discrimination against Windows users
a) funny b) were you around for USENET ? it was occasionally troublesome in the same way.
I like Mastadon. Farwss drama than on Lemmy (or Twitter).
Mastodon is pretty great for queer people. Better than lemmy I would say
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
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?
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
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.
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
Mastodon is pretty friendly.
what the fuck is x? you mean Twitter
It’s always ok to deadname twitter.
What’s the verb? Tweet on twitter, uhh X your X on aladeen?
Tweet on twitter, take a Xit on the Xitter.
Xitter
no that’s stupid
That’s the point. It’s stupid.
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.
Worse than Truth Social? Press X to doubt.
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.
It’s got a pretty large and active userbase though. I’d call that social media.
the word “cesspit” was used elsewhere in this thread and I think it’s a remarkably useful word
That would require that it be a social media platform, as supposed to a money laundering front.
As long as the users are there and active, it’s a social media platform, too.
I would say for everyone…
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)
Just discovered mastodont recently, pretty good alternative too
I dunno. I think X may be the least biased platform ever. It’s complete shit regardless of who you are.
It’s pretty good if you’re a Nazi or Elon fan, I imagine.
‘X is the worst social media app’ Period
I have not been active on Zuck platforms or Twitter in over 10 years and it is highly recommended. I haven’t been on Reddit since the API changes killed Infinity app. Also recommended. Never touched TikTok or any of the zoomer social media platforms. Extremely recommended.
Amazingly if you just avoid the cesspit of constant engagement, regardless of your life circumstances, you will be happier.
Besides, most things that are genuinely funny or useful on Twitter just get screenshotted and shared via other means anyway.
I was an early beta tester for twitter. Didn’t “get it” then, and I still don’t “get it”.
I haven’t been on any Zuck platforms ever and left Reddit during the API mess, I also don’t use TikTok or LinkedIN and recommend to all leaving corporate social media.
“duh.”
Lex is pretty nice it’s like queer nextdoor
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
While it can be used for dating, that doesn’t seem to be the main focus (I have only been there 2 days though).
You use checkboxes to filter the content you’re interested in so you can ignore all the dating stuff, that’s what i’m doing as I too have a partner and am not looking either.
I have joined 3 groups (a local chat, a local MTF support room and a ‘platonic friends’ group that seems to be national.
