Hey Pandas, What Is One Thing You Hate About Social Media? (Closed)

It is designed to make people angry, not give you facts. Even if some things on the internet are true, they are cherrypicked and molded to only show one part of the issue and hide the rest, which in itself is a lie. You cannot trust anything on the internet. Numbers, statistics, graphs, people. You cannot make stereotypes based only on what you have seen on the internet. If you don't know about a specific group or demographic, you don't know. Get your information from verified sources, not just "the internet". Don't get angry just because you saw something on the internet, even if it was just a troll, because you ranger translates into real life and it isn't healthy for you. Just be safe and be wary of what you see and we will all be fine :)

The hating. There was too much before social media. There's now haters uniting and validating each other's hate.

Comparing yourself to photoshopped starved plastic women to look "good". Or the constant talk about everything bad. why can't it just be cute dogs or cats or other animals?

The hate

The oh so brave Keyboard Warriors. The ones who talk hella big game because they are safe behind a computer or phone and able to stomp on someone's opinions, call them all kinds of names, troll all over their comments, etc. w/o any fear of actually being face to face with those people.

drama and how much it influences people(in a bad way).

-misinformation about medications and vaccines.
-the mothers who try to use their child/ children to get a few likes.

It has given some of the most horrific people imaginable a community. I have seen more racist groups on quora than I can count on my fingers, toes, arms, legs, buttocks, balls, and d**k. I have seen straight up pedophiles interacting with other pedophiles about how much they love "lolis" (anime little girls) and the fact that there is even a debate about whether lolicon is pedophilia or not is horrible. I've seen communities of people on Twitter who have declared their depraved attraction to straight-up, cut-and-dry ANIMALS (literal dogs and cats) a "sexuality", completely dragging the LGBTQ's if not humanity as a whole, reputation into the dirt. I've seen the worst of people on the internet. Humanities rejects, monsters, and freaks, given a podium to scream their abhorrent garbage. However, all Ultraman content ive ever watched was on the internet, and same with Garfield, so I guess its not all bad C:

TROLLS!!!!!

The overwhelming amount of chatbots and scammers.

Elon Musk

Bored Panda censorship when it is not necessary, which is, like, most of the time.

That it exists. Who wants or needs to know your every thought, feeling, meal, etc. Get off the internet and start cultivating real relationships and experiences.

How political everything became

Like on Facebook with all the conspiracy theories about the "Deep State", "QAnon", all this sheeple talk during the pandemic or these crazy mom groups.
Not like Twitter would be any better though with the pretentious fight for social justice on there. Racism, sexism etc. are just as present on that platform as well, just aimed in the opposite direction than on Facebook.

Discussing and sharing opinions with others isn't a bad idea, but it spiraled down into extremism on both sides even on the biggest platforms.

Stalking.
Just one (!) Of those crazy ones are needed to ruin someone's life.
It's hard to see how many young girls/ boys sharing so much about themselves online, private life, family, pets, where they are going to party.
And meanwhile some sick person is waiting for the right opportunity to strike.

Selfies! All the people posting stupid selfies just so everybody can comment on how they look.

It allows every nut on the tree to respond. Personally BP is one of the only places i commment and look at regularly.

my answer is pretty general. i hate the fact that this ability to literally be in contact with someone on the other side of the planet in real time has been bastardized into something that allows people to abuse others behind the safety and anonymity of their computer screens. in the beginning it was considered a great tool but is now it allows for stalkers, pedophiles, and other such depraved people to not only pursue their prurient interests but to find others to network in pursuit of them.

The hatred. I was on Facebook for a short time. Luckily it didn't take me long to figure out that when my blood is boiling and I was physically angry by reading the posts, that I shouldn't be on there anymore.

Lady at work goes out of her way to argue with people online. I guess it makes her feel better.

I refuse to give her any recognition for her "wins"
