No Channel Channel.

Both Reddit and X hiveminds are generally negative. The exceptions are subreddits or niche X communities that don’t surface much to the mainstream

That said, X users actually wield power and can channel their negativity into action, whereas Redditors are mostly impotent

I suspect that’s why X feels more toxic as a whole

how are we measuring that they're "generally negative"?

pretty sure the most popular posts of all time on both platforms are wholesome

Doesn’t matter if the long tails are positive if I have to wade through a pile of shit to get there

fair, but I still would love to see some sort of transparent "toxicity" analysis metric with weighting based on what people actually engage with to filter out bots

the hivemind thinking of the day is "social media toxic" and I think that biases our assessment of what we read on there 

I mainly see jokes, crypto analysis, sports analysis, politics analysis, when I open twitter

I'm a simple chrono feed person tho, could be an algo user problem (many such cases)

oof yeah I only go there if I'm in the mood for morbid existential humor

Yeah I peeked into r/politics today

Not even once
