The race for "Worst Dumpster Fire" is heating up. Everyone place your bets!

I'd exchange Reddit and X. The rate at which X is going downhill right now just cannot be beaten by anything.

I feel like it's unfair to include TikTok as it had a clear headstart by being a dumpster fire since the very start.

I mean, TikTok was already bad to begin with but what did they do to deserve a spot next to Twitter? Did I miss something? Surely they can't do worse than trying to make their paid only, right?

Does this reflect how the platform is actually doing or do we just like the circlejerk of wishing they would fail? Because everything I've seen says Reddit has been completely unaffected by the changes made and they're still getting more user signups, engagements and interaction/posts than ever.

Tik Tok also seems to be growing strong.

Twitter is a genuine laughing stalk and is pulling major shit.....but everyone still seems to be using it regularly.

Put Unity somewhere up there for their recent debacle

Crazy how TikTok don't even seem so bad anymore thanks to the other two completely fucking imploding.

I think Twitter will be the largest fall.

Like, they went from publicly traded household name, used by news sites everywhere... to... well...

Elons shenanigans has to be worse than spez surely

I know lemmy hates Reddit but X is easily taking the cake here. Do you think Elon is respecting ANY of the policies around old user data? If you were EVER on Twitter, Musk is all up in your business.

I feel like unity is the most likely to die. Their users are way more likely to switch to an alternative than people using reddit

Unity alternatives are also way more known than reddit or twitter alternatives

That text layout is…well dumpster fire is strong, but it’s definitely a smelly smolder

Xitter is now enabling disinformation intentionally. Put ‘em at the top

Yeah i also completely forgot Unity. This "Worst Dumpster Fire" ladder only had 3 spots.

Very relevant to all of them

wtf is a Kia race

Philips coming up fast in 4th place. CAN THEY BEAT TIKTOK?!

FIND OUT TOMORROW!

I don't think I've ever seen so many wish to devalue the companies at the same time. Let's not forget about robinhood also. I can't wait until reddit IPOs to short the shit out of it. You have to know their valuation is a farce and bullshit. The numbers are totally cooked there.

Edit: stupid autocorrect

What did TikTok do recently? Reddit and TwittX I know about. Could have added Unity to the mix, even if they’re not social media.

X and Reddit situations are kind of similar, but tiktok is shit for different reasons

I don't use TikTok. Is that bad?

There's metagame factors to this.

Reddit users often hate Reddit but feel stuck in it without alternatives that they can accept.

Twitter (it's not X, fuck that silly aging "peaked in the XTREME 90s" divorce dad nonsense, I hope he cries more about it ) has lost a lot of users and the ones that are left are devoted cultists that pay money for relevance symbols on their accounts.

TikTok has people that are hooked on the algorithm to the point that they may not bother even participating in any such survey because it isn't on TikTok.

Unity bailed itself out eh?

What's up with tiktok?

OP, social media usage is down across the board. These platforms won't truly die until the next cycle of growth. Autumn? Winter? Usually gaming goes up when the cold weather comes around. Perhaps we will see growth then. We ought to be making sure we make communities for each new game that comes out, if an instance creators goal is to attract a lot of people. If they prefer quality, well, keep on this course. Lemmy is amazing.

What got bumped from the top 3?

Unity needs to be on this leaderboard.

Reddit sucks but xitter and tiktok easily rub the floor with it!

I’m betting reddit, fuck spez

We really need to get people to get the word out on Lemmy.

Since I am side loading Apollo still, Reddit overall is still good. I currently don’t see much change because of this. However, when my RedditAPI key is revoked and I’m unable to generate a new API key, there is no way I can keep using it. I’ve got 5 different Reddit apps on my phone, including Apollo, and they all suck.

What has China done now?

As bad as any profit first corporation is, or even agenda first profit second corporations, there will never be anything more cringe than helping a hostile foreign dictatorship for vines with music.

i got 50 says threads pulls a upset in the fourth quarter

I got 40 flurbos on X being trash.

Great article. Well worth reading.

Oh great! The TikTok haters escaped from Reddit too!
