They forgot Reddit. Reddit is full of open racism all the time.
Yeah also 4chan
4chan is a flaming trash heap
WhatsApp? Isn’t that just like, a messenger? Would think you’d want better friends if you’re encountering hate speech in your group chats haha
I guess the people polled don’t play multiplayer video games if “other” is only 6%.
….so?
Spoken like a true non-minority
More like who doesn’t lol
18% in X? Hahahaha
I feel like the only people left on X are the people who don’t think their hate speech is hate speech…
I’m firmly in the “not very often” camp, and I think it’s because I don’t use any of the services mentioned, and I generally avoid the comment sections of most websites.
If you’re seeing a lot of hate speech, maybe consider not visiting sites where you see hate speech? Ideally we’d solve the root problem, but I’m worried a lot of people are just feeding the trolls, which creates a positive hate speech feedback loop.
The bar chart might be more useful if they weighted the source with its number of users. Facebook isn’t 7 times more hateful than Telegram. It has around 3.5 times as many users - but also the two are used very differently. I use Telegram, but only as a free messaging platform for automated alerts.
Then there’s the algorithms, which tend to feed you what you engage with and from those connections you’ve made on it. The exception recently is X which has a very strong political bias and has turned into something that pushes hate very strongly.
Don’t know how the question was phrased, but remember, many people find a comment that disagrees with them or presents a fact they don’t like to be “hate”.
Great list of websites to never visit 👍
I get enough hate-speech during on-line video games. By not using any of those apps, I successfully save myself from multitudes more, while also foregoing any potentially addictive status-seeking site-based-compulsions. I used to play Clash of Clans on my phone because it was a good way to waste a couple minutes while taking a shit. I quit when I began to play too much. I feel like Facebook, twitter, instagram, they’re all just sites to waste time on. Which begs the question, why waste time on them at all? Why waste time?
I know not every moment can be spent fruitfully, but when something you do to waste a bit of time in between/during mundane tasks becomes something that now demands attention outside of that, then it’s time to stop wasting time on it.
Huh, I use zero of those websites, and haven’t for something like 15 years. And as it turns out, I see very little hate speech. I wonder if those two things are related…
And the other third is committing or just unaware of it. I encounter it several times a week and virtually no platform cares about most of it. Although I’m pleasantly surprised to almost never see it in my communities on Lemmy.
can relate, i am the hate speech
I don’t use the internet

Stay off the internet, while we deliver.
Or another way of putting it, 1 in 3 people don’t recognize hate speech online.
or 1 in 3 aren’t on Xitter
😋
This amount actually seems low.
If the survey is reflective of real world percentages. Women are close to half of all people. White men are 31% of the US population. Assuming some of them aren’t straight men or have disabilities, thats a pretty large possibilities of options that someone can fling hate at.
To be clear, straight white men can also experience hate. I don’t want to discredit them. It just seems to me that most of the hate is directed at other identity groups, so I’m using it to make a point.
2 in 3 people are the ones doing it
