Anyone else genuinely think tiktok is one of the most toxic social medias?

So for context, I deleted tiktok over a year ago and got it back this month because I thought why not. I scrolled a little through the fyp and looked through some comments and realized how genuinely toxic everyone on their is. Even though instagram has some trolls, the stuff i've seen commented and posted on tiktok literally make my jaw drop. People will literally talk down and cyberbully others for anything but they are also so brainwashed and sensitive about literally everyone and every single thing. Cancel culture is so extreme there. Also, people on tiktok are so mentally unstable, like in comparison to other apps people having insane mental episodes seems to be more common among tiktok users. As someone who used to struggle a lot mentally before I deleted tiktok, getting back on the app and seeing my own stuff that I reposted and commented in the past is insane to me. I've also noticed these pessimistic behaviors, insecurities, radical feminism and normalization of women being 25+ years old being called old on tiktok.

Tiktok is literally like an "effect". I've seen how my own classmates who are chronically tiktok users behave. They literally act insane, it's literally like a drug that blurs your sense of thinking rationally. Seriously, I can tell who in the people I know is chronically a TikTok addict and who isn't, it's insane and I feel like with how much media is shoved in your face, how easy anything on the search bar shows, limits of characters in comment sections- it literally overstimulates your brain so much and causes anxiety

I don't know if anyone reading this will really understand what I mean but from my personal experience I genuinely think the "Tiktok effect" is real and it's ruining so many people's mental health

It's what you make of it, just like all other social media.

It’s been getting progressively worse since the conservatives joined en masse a couple summers ago. Then you have the foaming mouth liberals that attack anyone that doesn’t act exactly perfect. Combine the two and you have a rancid hellhole that’s hard to navigate. I recommend blocking everyone you see starting arguments in the comments if you want to stay on there for the cute videos. If not, just delete it. You can find cat and dog videos on YouTube shorts. Just stay out of the comments on YouTube and you’re golden.

I have to agree. I mainly stick to my special interests (cats, queer identity, paganism) but even then, there's an awful lot of infighting.

Reddit and TikTok are about equal on awful people using it. TikTok is easier to avoid videos that show bigots, sexists, etc, but the moderation allows a lotttttt of comments that are racist, sexist, etc. Reddit comments are the purpose of the site, and it's a little better at comments that display blatant awful things, but it's widespread on Reddit also. Reddit lets people be the most anonymous, so people feel more free to be awful.

You’re posting this on reddit, which is 1000x worse.

TikTok shows you the things you consume. I usually see positive and inspirational stuff because that’s what I like. Maybe you like the drama and that why you keep seeing it
