I know reddit is a mess but Instagram has to take the crown of bizarre comment threads for sure. You could post a picture of a pillow on a couch, no context whatsoever, and people will be fighting about something in the comments. You’d almost think the entire thing is simulated or something.
In my experience Instagram comments are even more reactionary than Reddit comments
There’s no downvotes and the comments are up depending on how many replies it gets, also instagram doesn’t seem to automatically remove slurs or autoban for using them
There’s a pro strongman that has started shitting on shitty people from the comments section of fitness videos. For example: woman lifts heavy weight, butt hurt “men” comment various idiotic hateful things, strongman looks at their profile and calls them a removed based on something relevant.
Obviously it doesn’t do anything systematically, but it is a bit of solidarity and the original poster often tanks him. So I guess that’s okay.
But yeah they are the worst.
