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!
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.
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.
A lot of these hateful beliefs are reinforced by these people’s filter bubbles. Forcing them to other places can improve the overall situation.
What if the whole country is an echo chamber of hate. What to do then?
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.
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.

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.
