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.

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

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.

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

So og IG that it doesn't have an Android app?

That might be too vanilla of insta.

There's an android app. I think you have to download it from their website rather than the play store cos it is in beta.

Why does this seem to only be about Instagram?

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