Reddit has this stereoytipe of being a niche community of insufferable internet chuds while Twitter was seen as more mainstream.
Now nowadays, this is completely different. Maybe it's the generational change and Gen Z men ruined Twitter, but it's like it got invaded by 4Chan mentally unstable losers and edgelords.
Reddit is a much more sensitive place, sometimes even too much, but I prefer people to be overly sensitive or offended over "Haha kill yourself liberal, and fuck women in video games women don't deserve to exist 👨🫃🏻"
Lately it feels like edgelords and trolls are multiplying, they used to be a minority of men no one cared about because they would drown in their own misery. But now they're like the average Instagram/Twitter user and you can see them on YouTube as well posting their opinions on lengthy debates.

I wouldn't say thats an unpopular opinion. It's kinda like saying "This rusty razor blade is better than this pile of dog shit".
Technically you're right. The rusty razor blade might have SOME use to be gained from it. But it's clearly seen better days, and is currently decaying.
Whereas twitter is just dog shit.

Maybe not an unpopular opinion on Lemmy, but it is unpopular to say so irl because of the bad reputation of Reddit

Twitter is literally owned by a Nazi though

In the same sense that chlamydia is much better than syphilis.

You seem to be unaware of the amount of hate people have for Elon Musk, who bought and reshaped Twitter into 𝕏, directing its now–pretty alt-right culture.

Oh forgot about that creep owning Twitter, yeah now my post seems really pointless

Well, for how much they hate it, Lemmy sure likes reposting Tweets.
It’s a good chunk of the posts I see in New Comments or Active.

They're both raging dumpster fires run by money grubbing soulless monsters. Why would you expect either of them to be any good?

How does Reddit get money from people tho?

Have you been on reddit lately? Their terrible mobile app that you have to use now is overrun with ads. They also have paid membership options, sponsored content that no one actually wants to read etc.

Ads and sponsored content; the same as most everything on the internet. Not to mention the award flairs they sell. 🤦♂️

You're not forced to pay for any of that tho, I'd think only gigachuds would actually pay for a Reddit flair 💀

I mean, yeah? A mentally unstable edgelord loser bought the platform several years ago and remade it in his unstable, edgelord image. Every other complaint you have about Twitter is explained by that.

Not an unpopular opinion, as twitter is the bottom of the barrel/

"X is so much better than Twitter" would be popular for any value of X.

Since when has twitter been more popular than reddit?
choihanna@lemmy.zip · -1 pts · 63d
Since forever? Everyone irl knows Twitter, that's where all the celebrities are commenting their opinions and it's where all the controversies used to start. Why would you think Reddit is at that level?
