What social media site do you hate most? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

With the war in Pakistan i had to download reddit, insta and twitter to keep up.

I genuinely despise them so much and going back to non lemmy social media after so long just reminds me of how fucking grateful I am that Lemmy exists.

Bluesky is fine simply bc there is noone there. The people who post moved but the masses didn't.

LinkedIn in lunatics.

Reddit is probably the one ive ended up gating more than any other despite it being the one I could bear pre Lemmy.

Twitter I haven't used much anyways. But feels horrible with the limited use.

Insta is all thirst traps somehow.

Reddit. When they implemented their API pricing, they could have been upfront, but instead they put words into the mouths of 3rd party developers. When the 3rd party developers posted the recordings of the conversations, Reddit doubled down instead of apologizing. At that point, I washed my hands of Reddit. People who will directly lie in the face of evidence cannot be trusted. I have not been back since.

This is the reason why i left, i do miss some of the niche communities but i can't trust a site like that.

I just liked the concept of having subreddits. But Lemmy kind if fills that for me now so I am fine without it.

Reddit was always like this.

Now they've made ads indistinguishable from posts.

The discourse is generally low quality, divisive and likely bot driven.

Yes the quality of discourse is in the gutters.

Thats the biggest problem now
