I don't get group chats. It seems like the worst parts of IRC had a baby with the worst part of internet forums and created a thing destined to make you always late to the party.

I really like that Signal let's you do group stories, it works really well for this.
Some of my groups have great participation and it's a great place to send all the random links we send.
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.
I have been wanting to get back to making stuff on social media but due to work and no longer being the IDGAF teenager I get nervous on what to talk about.
Like I was hoping to do a podcast for my Facebook friends but I only uploaded one episode cause I want to do a few about how work sucks. But then I worry it'll be depressing.
Why does this seem to only be about Instagram?
I see tons of posts. What is this about ?
