Actually, in my opinion, Xitter is the worst social media app for society, not just LGBTQ+ people.

X is the worst social media ~~app for LGBTQ+ people~~

Fixed that for you.

Then get the fuck off of it.

Seriously, it's on you the longer you stay on that shithole platform. Despite all of the warnings. All of the things Musk has done. You're still on it. Why? Besides member count, why? Why stick with something that actively hates you and works against your best interests?

"Because uh, muh friends..."

Get those friends off the fucking platform too. If they're staying behind, consider getting new friends.

Mastodon and Blue Sky are better alternatives. Get the fuck off of X. Get some damn self-respect for once.

what the fuck is x? you mean Twitter

They could have left out, "for LGBTQ+ people" and it would have been just as accurate.

Let me fix that for ya...

X is the worst social media app ~~for LGBTQ+ people~~

No wait...

X is the worst ~~social media app for LGBTQ+ people~~

Oh almost forgot...

~~X~~ Twitter is the worst ~~social media app for LGBTQ+ people~~

There were go.

Mastodon is pretty great for queer people. Better than lemmy I would say (and obviously better than the mainstream apps) ...

X is the worst social media app. Ftfy

Oof, the article goes on to say all the platforms failed. X just failed a bit more.

This is going to lead to some “well, they’re all about the same.” discourse shenanigans.

I have not been active on Zuck platforms or Twitter in over 19 years and it is highly recommended. I haven't been on Reddit since the API changes killed Infinity app. Also recommended. Never touched TikTok or any of the zoomer social media platforms. Extremely recommended.

Amazingly if you just avoid the cesspit of constant engagement, regardless of your life circumstances, you will be happier.

Besides, most things that are genuinely funny or useful on Twitter just get screenshotted and shared via other means anyway.

Worse than Truth Social? Press X to doubt.

This is Not news for queer* people.

I am in this instance using "Queer" to mean an umbrella for all who are othered by society.

I'm telling you that people with lifelong chronic disability, people who are sex workers, and people who are dispropotionately targeted by the law enforcement or the state, AND disenfranchised casually in everyday society because of their appearance and/or melanin levels...All have networks of contacts they have relied on for over a decade in many cases.

It was easy for me to get off Twitter but for a lot of people I care about, it'd mean severing so many important bonds...and I just thought this sentiment is something that someone reading might apply too, as well

Twitter has never been great, just easy to use and widely adopted. It’s gotten worse under Musk and mostly appeals to the worst people left on the platform.

Well that makes sense, after all, Nazi bars do tend to be hostile to members of any minority group and Twitter is the biggest Nazi bar on the internet.

I would say for everyone...

the worst, if you don't count Gab and Truth Social

Meanwhile, Tumblr is (or was?) incredibly queer back when I used it. Where's the love?

Reddit should have got a mention, but you know who really wins? Good ol' Lemmy-- LGBTQ (especially T) representing here. Although that's cheating cause we have blahaj, haha (not like the Fediverse will ever get mentioned, lol)

'X is the worst social media app' Period

Only the first 7 ~~letters~~ words of this headline are needed.

I mean, yeah, that's true... On the basis that it's the worst social media platform for... Anything at all.

Lgbt nation being surprisingly anti-lgbt by refusing to tell everyone the best social media website for lgbt folk.

I dunno. I think X may be the least biased platform ever. It's complete shit regardless of who you are.
