The oldest active social network is now correctly seen as passé, cringe, and even trashy. But I have a soft spot for making a sentimental well written post for my older relatives to read

hear me out. I am watching my 65 year old dad use Instagram and social media like I used to when it first came out and I was 14, and nothing brings me more joy. It is simultaneously nostalgic, ironic (because who tells you to get of your phone more than your parents), and unifying because we really are all the same. Over the past few years I’ve watched him progress from not having a profile photo and 20 followers, to having over 600 (? Huh), sending me reels more than I send him, and posting slideshows (youre not supposed to be chill like dat).
but it’s really very charming

📱i'm sick of all other social medias and have come full circle. i haven't sent a friend request in years, but this means the people showing up on my feed are so random and so funny. i see a ton of content from elderly relatives, estranged acquaintances, old elementary school classmates' parents, etc. it's great for getting out of your little curated internet bubble.
also the algorithm for feeding suggested content to you sucks in the best, most bonkers way. my FB feed is like 1/3 posts from friends and pages i follow, and 2/3 suggested content. scrolling rn i see an AI-generated photoset of 1994 Jennifer Aniston in a bikini with her arms around 2018 Ariana Grande and 2010 Selena Gomez (both also in bikinis), a diet guide marketed specifically to grandmothers, a mysterious advertisement for a "miracle plant" that features a video of someone rubbing aloe vera onto the crotch of a pair of panties, a post from the page "Exploring Utah" that's just pictures of Utah's landscape, and a scathing tabloid article about Nicole Kidman coming from a page called "I Love Denzel Washington."
beware of russian bots. have fun!!!

👥Like many of us, I've been on social media since early adolescence. It's part of who I am for better or worse.
Now I work in social media, so I'm not really able to remove myself from it completely. I need to be in the know about trends and new features :/ Sometimes it's exciting, but I know it's so bad for me (and everyone). I'm also 30 now and I'm starting to feel like some online spaces aren't really for me anymore. Also MZ can smd!
But I do love stories, especially close friends stories. I find it to be one of the quickest ways to share my life with most of my friends. I can find community events, mutual aid opportunities, Also good for stalking and crushing heheehe what can I say.

⭐Though obviously not accessible to everyone, having a car in NYC is incredibly underrated.
The road rage, the drives to the airport, the cross-borough transfers with umprecented ease, the loaning your cars to friends for a nice weekend. also sort of your own little sanctuary if you ever need it. nothing like ripping through the center of the universe in your own motorized avatar
