I use Signal the way I want Social Media to be... I share things with specific people who I think will appreciate what I'm sharing, and if I ever want to share something with everyone I chat with on Signal, then I will use Stories. I almost never use Stories because I rarely ever want to share something with everyone, however a few weeks ago I saw that someone I used to work with had posted a Story. He was breaking ground on building his new house. He has spent the past decade living extremely frugally at a campground, saving all of his money toward the goal of building a house, and now he's begun building. It was EXACTLY the type of thing that I think we could all agree is what Social Media should be for, and since he isn't on facebook or instagram, he used Signal.
