This week, the real was separated from the problematic in the social media world, and only the strong survived.

Twitter, Instagram, Facebook?

Peep which platforms lost big this week below, then hit the next page to find out which community took home a W thanks to an impromptu campaign.

Losers

Facebook and Instagram 

Facebook can’t seem to get it together.

Once again, users around the world were left twiddling their thumbs when Facebook and its sister app Instagram went down.

Any miscellaneous thoughts, profound proclamations or Red Table Talk revelations were put on pause because “something went wrong” on Facebook. According to CBS News, the site was having issues around 11 a.m. ET on Wednesday and things didn’t get resolved until a little after midnight the next day.

People were naturally mad and of course, they made the mass migration to a site that never seems to fail…

Twitter.

When Facebook and Instagram finally got back up, folks were counting their blessings.

But of course, some influencers like @blameitonkway still had some post-traumatic resentment.

Sadly, this was the third big FB blackout in five months.

Let’s not have this trending again please Facebook….

For the sake of humanity.

Winners

Twitter

The currently most reliable social media platform had multiple W’s this week.

The obvious win was being a haven for the lost and destitute when Facebook and Instagram went down.

But the Twitter community also showed the upsides of social media when they challenged a major studio over a questionable movie poster.

Marvel released the trailer for Avengers: Endgame this week, and it generated the usual hysteria. Then, they released the official movie poster for the flick and while it boasted an amazing cast, people couldn’t help but notice an important name missing from the top billing.

Danai Gurira‘s name was missing in action even though her character Okoye was clearly shown on the poster.

Marvel even put Bradley Cooper‘s name on the poster who voices Guardians of the Galaxy character Rocket, but they couldn’t give Danai her shine at the top.

But in winning Twitter fashion, folks swiftly came at Marvel for the omission of Danai’s name.

Thankfully, Marvel read the cries of Twitter and quickly released a new poster with Danai’s name clear and present. “She should have been up there all this time,” they tweeted out. “Check out the official Marvel Studios’ #AvengersEndgame poster.”

Twitter was satisfied…

But of course, some people remained petty…
