Social media is on the decline. Instagram is all ads. No one's posting on BeReal. TikTok is for influencers. The new place for sharing: group chats.

We've run a private chat server for friends 10+ years now with channels and that's where most sharing goes on, whatsapp chats with some, and I've basically moved to Discord for other interests and still use forums for some. Public social media is more for profile curation, displaying a highly curated identity.

Hopefully interest in forums starts to pick up again. Not be the main thing, but at least an alternative.

Take me back to MSN Messenger.

I see tons of posts. What is this about ?

Why does this seem to only be about Instagram?

More people need to know about pixelfed. It is basically very much the old IG.

Are these social media or scam media?
I consider kbin, Lemmy and Mastodon (or better, the Fediverse) so much healthier.
