It's not just you — 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 think there's two types really. There's the "hey family, look at my photos and shit that nobody else will care about" social media, and "screaming opinions into the void" social media.

Lemmy and Mastodon are the latter. I guess you can use Mastodon as the former, but I suspect there are better places for that, even if they're currently spread across a dozen instant messaging apps.

From one perspective, all screaming is in the void.
