It's not just you โ€” no one is posting on social media anymore::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.

I'm in a few sea kayaking Facebook groups which are pretty active, and being based around a common interest, there is some genuinely good conversation happening.

It's a shitshow outside our little walled garden though, I just post about my trips and that's it.

I just finished a riveting couple of weeks watching my neighborhood chat devolve into accusations/almost outright war about a stranger going around moving trash bins/furniture to... Prank? Apparently? But everyone was picking sides and I was waiting in anticipation for the obvious reveal...

IT WAS THE WIND

Neighbourhood FB groups are legendary for being dumpster fires.

Yeah I follow a few neighborhoods around friends and family because I'm nosy and it doesn't disappoint lol

A lot of my groups have moved to Signal from FB, feels a lot less dirty using a community platform vs a filthy advertising company. Now I just need to get a phone not developed by an ad company i.e. Alphabet Inc.

I got a Doogee S96 pro, it's an indestructible brick with pretty decent specs.

I think they meant Android, the OS on almost every non iPhone phone. I personally don't think Apple is much better either, but that might be what they want to get.
