insta is becoming a toxic place
has anyone noticed how toxic of a place *** is becoming?
i use it to watch reels and a lot of times i noticed tht the comments are always so negative 😭 these people love putting others down and belittling each other it's honestly causing me sm stress. and dont even get me started with the amount of racism, islamophobia and homophobia going around
enough doomscrolling. gonna take a break from tht app
@ipoopcats *** has an algorithm that gives you more of what you view. So for me it's still pretty healthy and happy, but I have a very non-toxic corner. Twitter became that way for me, though, and I can agree that getting completely off of it helped a lot.
@ipoopcats its not just this literally every social media app is toxic because people know how them saying anything would have no consequences which is why they feel free to say anything its actually humourous and entertain to get a look into the mind of the masses but it really depends on you, on how you process this toxicity. I remember last year getting all depressed because of the palestinian oppression and how insensitive people were in the comments where you d see a literal child begging for help and among all the encouraging nice comments you d find braindead comments like he deserved it or ask help from your government which had some effect on me but I realized how these people dont really matter and I need to play my part of being good and let bygones be bygones because nothing they say or do will matter in the slightest bit, their existence is insignificant which is why they resort to such stupidity.
@Reaper17
most of the time when people post braindead comments it's usually just to get a reaction out of other people. rage baiting as they say.
i also have seen a lot of palestine posts recently and it still saddens me till this day how cruel and uneducated people can be when making insensitive comments. but then i remind myself that there's so much more people out there that will stand for humanity and actually support the palestinians. we should turn to that side of the community and expose ourselves to positivity. 😁✨
Even the feed and content is not quality anymore , people are either over exaggerating their marital life of it is some nudity content that appears in feed avery now and then
@sensibleBlackberry5179
very true. with the rise in popularity of online prost*tution these people will take it to inst just to promote their OF page. with the minimum age requirement being just 13 years old, we should be concerned if these minors are exposed to such explicit content.
It's absolutely disappointing to see people carry so much hate inside their hearts. This they reveal on an anonymous medium (in real life I believe they'd be keeping a face)... we as a world community need help with learning social conduct and basic manners.
Which links me to the topic of mental health. Most of the mental health issues I've had were due to people' mistreating me ... so yes while this behaviour is there, we really have to learn how to filter and protect ourselves. It's not possible for us to change others - we can only guard ourselves and choose right people for our company .
@ipoopcats
Most of the social media is becoming like that *** , *** etc When I first started using social media, it was so simple and fun. Everything changed so much and now we need to use certain settings or filters to see what we want, but again it is so complicated.
I get so many depressing postst and many postst tjat show unreqlistic standards of relationships which drag me down lol.
@littleraspberry21
these kind of posts are usually made to get people engaged and conversational in the post but it's not benefiting anyone. It's just warping people's perception of reality :(
Yes ipoopcats, I completely agree. I was HEAVILY addicted to I n s t a but I had to get off it for my mental health. All of the content is tailored towards making you feel bad about yourself and bigging up everyone else around you. This app is the only space where I feel like people are actually kind and compassionate like they would be in real life.
Anyways, I use a great app of my phone called AppBlock to block all media sites that are bad for me and it really works for me 😊
I hope you can find your way back from the negativity of social media like I did x
@ipoopcats I think social media in general is toxic. There is a lot of dishonesty on social media. There are also a lot of jerks on social media. There are a lot of sensual enticement on social media. All of this stuff can be overwhelming. Also social media gives up a distorted view of the world. But what makes it even worse is that it does enough good things to keep you hooked to it. It is like on one hand it helps you up, while also kicking you when you are down.
Hate to break it to you but negativity drives views more than positivity. That is why social media is responsible for society polarization.
Also people are generally struggling in life so misery tends to like company.
Some even go as far as to finding validation for their negativity so that they can avoid choosing personal growth to seek the positive change in life. Some takes even a step further than that and put others down just because they are happier in life. It's quite depressing how much bitterness can be had.
Social media offers a place to vent but it also acts as an echo chamber to validate people that toxic behaviors are okay.
So social media tends to become the extremes of either toxic positivity or toxic negativity to drive emotional response and therefore views
@ipoopcats I’ve been having similar issues with ***
