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've seen the birth of it in my lifetime, I'll see the death of it in my lifetime. Way to go, evolution!

It had the potential to be good. But as with everything, once capitalisms tendrils flowed through it the benefit to anyone except those wishing to reap a profit is gone. I’m hoping the fediverse gets the support it needs because infrastructure is expensive and we have something good here

You underestimate capitalism if you think the fediverse is safe. It's going to be a constant fight against an immortal enemy. It's only a matter of time. I just hope it's after mine.
