What in the world is positive about Instagram or Tiktok? Twitter is clearly worse, but Instagram inspires nothing but vapid voyeurism and tiktok very well could be an act of espionage.
- drusepth 5y agoCompared to Twitter, anything else is a shining light of social media. Instagram may be nothing but vapid voyeurism, but the posts there are generally (fake) messages of "I am enjoying my life, look at it!" My stream's a bunch of travel photos and/or interesting things. Even if it's shallow or attention-seeking, it's a far cry from the flood of hatred and filth that spews from Twitter's fringe. TikTok's a bit more varied (and feels more akin to reddit, which has a lot of ups and downs), but still doesn't feel as bad as Twitter.
- npteljes 5y agoCouldn't you follow the similarly positive accounts on Twitter too? It doesn't seem fair to compare Twitter's fringes to your personally curated feed on another site.
- posix_compliant 5y agoSure, but we’re talking in generalities here, and Instagram does have the veneer of pseudo-positivity as the norm as opposed to Twitter.
- shard 5y agoIf Twitter is Wrath, then IG is Pride and Envy, and TikTok is Sloth and Gluttony.
