> I am a fan of Twitter. It is a much better social network then Facebook and Instagram.

I mean. You have the right to your opinion. But... really?

I understand that the sentiment is “Twitter is mostly what you make it“, but it was so incredibly toxic that I was stunned to the point where I almost became radicalised against the ideology that was pervasive at the time.

Even now I am sensitive to it.

Facebook in comparison never had strangers piling on me telling me I am worthless and invalid based on my race and gender.

Not that any of them are fantastical beacons of acerbic communication which puts such a high emphasis on civility as hacker news does. But to call twitter the best of this breed is, I feel, speaking from a far different experience than my own.
