They are usually brutally honest. The anonymity of social media and forums bring out the worst in people. So much hate that is spread out through various channels like FB, Instagram Twitter, and other digital channels is rarely seen anywhere else. But there is one positive side to this, Social media offer (if you can filter out all the hate) a reliable source of information.
