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.

My thoughts exactly... This might be why nobody is posting there

We're just to old, my niece and nephews in their teens are all using it.

I'm 24 and a lot of people in my friend circle are definitely using it. I'd say it started off niche but it's becoming mainstream.

It's the only social network I don't hate right now
