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.
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
‘X is the worst social media app’ Period
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.
They could have left out, “for LGBTQ+ people” and it would have been just as accurate.
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.

what the fuck is x? you mean Twitter
Xitter
no that’s stupid
That’s the point. It’s stupid.
It’s always ok to deadname twitter.
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.
X is the worst social media
app for LGBTQ+ peopleFixed that for you.
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?
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 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
Lgbt nation being surprisingly anti-lgbt by refusing to tell everyone the best social media website for lgbt folk.
Which is? Blue sky? Mastodon? Lobste.rs?
Only the first 7
letterswords of this headline are needed.X is the w
*words hahaha
I mean, yeah, that’s true… On the basis that it’s the worst social media platform for… Anything at all.
Social media is what you make of it.
