Studies looking at similarities and differences among social platforms found differences with respect to user personalities, news spreading, or content sharing.

From Social Data: Biases, Methodological Pitfalls, and Ethical Boundaries (2019) · cites this paper as Hughes et al., 2012
Findings on the association between openness to experience and problematic Facebook use are inconsistent, with negative or non-significant associations.
“Furthermore, people high in openness to experience have been observed to frequently find and share information (Hughes, Rowe, Batey, & Lee, 2012), but negative (e.g., Andreassen et al., 2013; Błachnio et al., 2017) or non-significant (e.g., Bodroža & Jovanović, 2016; Tang et al., 2016) associations have been found between this trait and PFU.”
From A comprehensive meta-analysis on Problematic Facebook Use (2018) · cites this paper as Hughes, Rowe, Batey, & Lee, 2012
Previous studies have shown that personality traits may be associated with SNSs excessive use and addiction.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
