As toxic as fb is, twitter is even worse. It just doesn't get as much scrutiny for whatever reason.

- ravenstine 5y agoTwitter is worse, and I would argue that Instagram is also worse in terms of sheer narcissism. And what does that narcissism contribute to the world? Nothing. In fact, it detracts. At least narcissists that run corporations have the excuse that they create jobs. Instagram knows exactly what they are doing. Yes, I know that it's the same company. I'm talking strictly about the platforms. Facebook at least has some useful features like marketplace. In its current state it has less vitriol and narcissism than the other major platforms. But a lot of that is due to its age and the bad press it got.
- creddit 5y agoTwitter is where members of the media are given special status (blue checks) and they generally use it as a tool for self promotion. Facebook has gained huge shares of advertising revenue once owned by said members of the media.
- brightball 5y agoAgreed. The moment that mainstream news started showing tweets 10 years ago is when everything really started going down hill.
- mavhc 5y agoSo what's actually worse is tv news people who can't even be bothered to go downstairs to interview the human on the street. My twitter and facebook are full of interesting things, guess I have better friends than you
- brightball 5y agoBetter friends than the people the evening news decides to feature.
