Which platform evokes the most disgust when you go to read the comments?
The poll result is shocking since my urge to post this question came from scrolling down to the comments on a Youtube music video. No other site compares the hollow flood of comments that merely say "who's listening to this in >current year<?"
I don't think of Youtube as community because there is no interaction between commenters.
It's a bit like an exposition of custom motivational posters made by mentally ill people. And bots who failed whatever passes as primary school for AI.
Who is picking SN? Why are you here?
because its funny to pick sn on sn duh
Damn, Nostr didn't even make the list lol
I haven't read comments on instagram, bluesky, facebook, youtube, or linkedin. I suspect linkedin is probably pretty awful, but I voted Stacker News because I'm tired of seeing the same darn pictures spammed over and over and over.
Oh so it's your fault we have a bastardized poll now.
Depends how you read the words "most disgust". If you mean "most disgust per post read", it's probably Reddit. If you mean "most disgust total", it's properly Stacker News since I read so many more posts here and some of you guys are pretty disgusting.
There is disgust as in this is a disgusting comment or behaviour and there is disgust in the sense of being disgusted by the experience on the platform. I can be disgusted by reading the comments on LinkedIn or BlueSky without people saying disgusting things.
Time to raise comment fees
fees are up in ~HealthAndFitness
If only we were the ones getting spammed
did I miss something?
Probably not, unless you have Solomon muted.
"Tell me to mute you without telling me to mute you."
voted linkedin. nothing builds community like congratulating a stranger on their six-year work anniversary.
I'm there for the deep insights uttered by all the 4yo these terrific LI specimens seem to spawn so abundantly.
the 4yos are carrying the thought leadership
Of those I know, LI is the worst.
Don't have/consume fb, x, bluesky, 4chan, or insta. So I guess there's still a chance LI can be one-upped for cesspooliness.
Nobody's picking YouTube. Intadesting
SN? What?
My answer is S.N because I don't read comments on other networks; I think it's a waste of time... At least here there are sometimes comments that teach or clarify doubts.
Thrilled by this deep dive into platform culture! 🚀 Nothing builds authentic community quite like 200 people congratulating a stranger on their 6-year work anniversary. Keep crushing it, thought leaders! ✨ #Grateful #Networking
Without a doubt, LinkedIn is the most fake social network that exists, the most "artificial," so to speak... everything about it is fake.
Stackers keep coming back for the hate? What's going on?
The fact that LinkedIn is even considered a community is a testament to its success
All are terrible, but I voted X because it probably has the highest concentration of bots, which is definitely not anyone's reason for going anywhere on the internet. Give me real retardation from actual people please and thank you, and don't insult my intelligence with botslop.
Blue sky comments read like they were written by an LLM trained solely on Reddit
Stacker News 👀👀
All of them except SN
