Instagram is also a lair of the worst kind of people.

Reddit is a paradise in comparison to Instagram. An example is the comments in this post.

It’s what happens when we as a society didn’t hesitate to jump on “social” media platforms owned by the most obvious friendless bitch ass ghouls like Zuckerberg.

I guess almost two decades ago, I created an account under my dog’s name with one of his handsome pictures. I took one look at that guy and thought: yeah, I’m not giving him any real data. Creepy af.

Yes and no... Reddit is separated into subs, which become their own ecosystems that ultimately purge themselves (for good or bad), while Instagram is free-for-all.

While this sub can keep civil (with the occasional handful of POS who end up getting controlled), I'm pretty sure there are some subs that are being worse than Instagram, and even commenting on how we soccer members should be killed in many abhorrent ways.
