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.

Wait, what the heck is BeReal? I’ve never heard of it before?

Does that mean I’m old now?

[–] pbsds@lemmy.ml 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

At the start of each school year some niche social media gains popularity, simply because each year wants something new and "untainted". Last year BeReal benefitted from this. It likely won't survive for long as they're losing users now

It reminds me of SnapChat back in the day when every other social network started copying their features. TikTok has "TikTok Now" now which is what BeReal was.
