Always see hateful comments first when scrolling

Hi friends,

Whenever I'm scrolling and I go to look at comments, a lot of the time the first comment will be something hateful (homophopic, transphobic or maybe sometimes a conspiracy theorist, or an idiot). This pisses me off. I guess the algorithm knows this because it keeps putting those comments first. Maybe in the past Ive thumbs downed similar comments, but all that does is count as interaction with comments of that type, making it suggest more. Kinda should be the opposite if I'm thumbs downing I should see less of it right?

I scroll down about 5 comments and I'll find the most popular ones with the most likes. Anyone know a way to improve this experience? I wanna stop being pissed off every time I open the comments.

That's why I deleted it.

Yeah, but I’m not allowed to say the word deranged. They just banned my fucking account for nothing but in the meantime, the Nazi rhetoric is rampant fuck that platform. I’ll take myself in my business and my data elsewhere.

I’ve noticed this too. I am seeing a lot of pro Trump comments that I used to never see. Unfortunately I think there is some changes to the algorithm that may not go back to normal. Maybe keep engaging with comments that resonate with you more?

Just ignore it. They have the freedom to say what they want. Tiktok can stop it if they want to. But why let it bother you? Obviously if its at you then that’s different. But some random comment on some dogshit social media app? Just ignore it.

since the 19th, it’s become eerily similar to Instagram reel’s algorithm (with an infamously bigoted and negative comment section that’s enough to ruin anyones day)

i hate to be that guy, but you saw the message after it came back. Tik Tok has become a propaganda machine and part of that is letting weirdo bigots say whatever they’d like, unchecked. unfortunately, that’s like… half of his sub nowadays is people saying “I can’t say (harmless comment), but they got away with calling me a slur?!”

it’s sick, it’s frustrating, and it’s blatant. and most of all, it’s unfair to someone minding their business.

PEOPLE! TikTok is now STATE RUN MEDIA. Get away from it ASAP.
