I'd say Facebook because somehow people can say complete BS while commenting on a 'trending' topic (displayed prominently)... but no one can comment on them (unless friends) to present a counter-narrative. How unilateral is that? Runner-up is Reddit with practical fiefdoms of monolithic ideologues.

For me, Twitter. I never have enjoyed it because you cannot say anything meaningful within such a small character limit.

What's frustrating is when you can't look up, on Facebook, a person by where he/she lives.

I know a person named Craig ***** who lives in Rego Park, Queens.

You would think that many Craig ****s from Rego Park, Queens would show up via the inquiry.

Nope!

You really have to scroll down before you'll find a Craig ***** from Rego Park, Queens.

I agree with this.
I'm not on Snapchat but the way things are deleted within seconds of seeing it just sounds like a pain to me.

Facebook - it freezes every time. I've tried the various remedies. Once I got FB moving but everything else went wonky. So I reset the whole system. Still stuck with frozen FB. Too bad, it can be entertaining.

I find Twitter really overwhelming. I also don't like the character limit on tweets, it makes it hard for me to say what I want to say. I used to have one, but I deleted it after a couple of weeks.

You haven't seen frusration until you've seen Chatango. It's this remote IMing system filled with pedophiles and weirdos that you probably won't find unless you google it directly. The only reason I kept going back was that a friend of mine was there, and we ended up getting mad at each other, and.. Yeah. (Maybe I if I keep mentioning him he'll come here?) Either way, I'm not even allowed on Chatango anymore, given all of the perverts. And I don't miss it!

Facebook is annoying. The only reason I still log on is to keep in touch with family and friends.

I'm trying to stay away from negativity. Seeing news articles or things trending on Facebook about politics and sad things really isn't good for me. Even seeing people post negative things about their lives makes me feel terrible.
