One out of 1000 posts is hate? Gosh, I don't spend much time on Facebook, but I easily scroll through 500-1000 posts every few days. I haven't seen one I would truly call hate. Oh sure, there are a few friends who say nasty things about the politician they dislike, but it doesn't strike me has hate speech.
Now I'm not denying that they're out there. They must be. But 1/1000 seems like a pretty high estimate. There are sooo many pictures of cats and grandkids and that cake someone just made.
- Red_Leaves_Flyy 6y agoThe metric likely includes private group posts and networks you're not in. You could also be oblivious to some hate.
- xhkkffbf 6y agoYes, but those would need to be really big groups because as far as I can tell there are lots and lots and lots of groups specializing in cats and discussions of high school. It just seems like a pretty puffed up stat compared to my experience. I'm not saying it's zero. I'm just saying that there is plenty of inoffensive stuff too and it tends to drown out the ratio.
