    Instagram comment section

    Why are Instagram full of bigots and twitter sjws? Did Facebook, TikTok and Twitter users migrated to Instagram or is it some dead internet theory? This is one of the examples: This is a funny caricature art and someone got offended on behalf of Asians, Asian ppl find the video funny. Heck...

    Crabber.net: A Twitter clone with extra features and none of the toxicity

    So, a friend of mine introduced me to this site called Crabber, which is basically a twitter clone. It looks extremely similar to twitter, but has no annoying ads and it does not actually have the toxicity that comes with being on Twitter. I have been using it for about a day, as well...

    A real doctor watches The Social Dilemma

    So,...I am on this forum. I also find that I am logging on to this forum,...a lot. Why? One part of my brain is like, "My people,...I can relate,...I can share." Altruistic thoughts. The other part of my brain is like, "Why am I constantly logging on?" "What do I get from this?" "Why am I...

    Why do autistic adults & parents of autistic kids often not get along?

    Over many months I've engaged with parents of autistic kids who have been scared by what they've seen from autistic adults on social media, and many autistics who have also been discouraged from engaging. These problems are not so noticeable on a forum like this due to the active moderation of...

    Using Social Media

    Hi everybody, I've been thinking about social media a lot recently and was wondering if and how you use it? Most of the people I know add people that they have just met, people that they shared a class with at school (but never spoke to), their colleagues and bosses. I'm quite a private...

    tbh: Another App to not use.

    Facebook buys app for teens to be nice Facebook bought this social media app that teenagers use to be nice to each other. I won't be downloading it because a) I'm far too old. b) I guess no one would tag me on it anyway so I would feel more isolated.

    Aspies and Social Media

    Hi, I don't do social media because I feel that it's primarily inconsequential talk that goes on it or that it's sharing very personal information with strangers. I recognize that not everyone goes about it that way, though. Having said that, how do you feel about socializing via social...
