Worse than Truth Social? Press X to doubt.

baru ,

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.

mPony ,

the word "cesspit" was used elsewhere in this thread and I think it's a remarkably useful word

drislands ,

That would require that it be a social media platform, as supposed to a money laundering front.

@photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

As long as the users are there and active, it's a social media platform, too.

tudor ,

Except the only user is Trump himself

laurelraven ,

I think Truth Social is more of a fascist media app than a social one

Treczoks ,

X is the worst social media app for LGBTQ+ people

Fixed that for you.

Full stop indeed.

"duh."

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

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

nomadjoanne ,

I like Mastadon. Farwss drama than on Lemmy (or Twitter).

Jolteon ,

Lemmy is probably the worst social network in terms of discrimination against Windows users.

Duamerthrax ,

Really? I would say it's the best for discrimination against Windows users. Better then even old school slashdot.

a) funny
b) were you around for USENET ? it was occasionally troublesome in the same way.

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?

GnomeKat ,
@GnomeKat@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

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

Eyck_of_denesle ,

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.

Lone Skum deadnames his child, you deadname his company. Fuck Skum, and fuck Twatter.

Imgonnatrythis ,

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

pivot_root ,

It's pretty good if you're a Nazi or Elon fan, I imagine.

Etterra ,

Let me fix that for ya...

X is the worst social media app for LGBTQ+ people

No wait...

X is the worst social media app for LGBTQ+ people

Oh almost forgot...

X Twitter is the worst social media app for LGBTQ+ people

There were go.

paraphrand ,

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?

pivot_root ,

I'm genuinely surprised something owned partly by the Chinese government isn't at the bottom.

SSUPII ,

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?

Zerfallen ,

Governments told kids they shouldn't use it. So it naturally became more popular.

Gormadt ,
@Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I'm surprised those scores are so high honestly

It's fuckin hard being queer on social media

radicalautonomy ,

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.

Gormadt ,
@Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

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

Naich ,
@Naich@lemmings.world avatar

Mastodon is pretty friendly.

@ZeroCool@vger.social avatar

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.

DigitalDruid ,

Lex is pretty nice it's like queer nextdoor

Rai ,

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

DigitalDruid ,

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.

heres most of the content tags in search:

Actually, in my opinion, Xitter is the worst social media app for society, not just LGBTQ+ people.

metaStatic ,

"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

Murdoc ,

Umm, does that include Lemmy?

pivot_root ,

I hope you used protection!

metaStatic ,

depends if you think anonymous interactions are as impactful as people you actually know.

oh god, is this actually worse?

aniki ,

Message boards aren't social media.

That's good, that means my use is healthy

Pechente ,

A lot of these hateful beliefs are reinforced by these people’s filter bubbles. Forcing them to other places can improve the overall situation.
