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.

      It’s a breakfast food item that you pour beer over.

      Bereal is great, you get a notification and take a picture, front and rear camera, that’s all you get for the day, then you can see what your friends are up to.

      By far my favorite social media.

        I get it but man, I’d never want to post pics of myself on the Internet for anyone to see. I also don’t think anyone would wanna see me anyway. ¯⁠\⁠(⁠°⁠_⁠o⁠)⁠/⁠¯

          Default is only your friends see. You opt in to make it public.

          You don’t actually have to take a photo of yourself. If you’re quick enough you can just move the front facing camera to take a photo of the ceiling.

          That’s what I do on days I don’t want to take a photo of myself.

            This sounds so bizarre to me. “If you’re quick enough”? What happens if you aren’t? What kind of insane, voluntary 1984-esque nightmare is this app?

              I mean like you take a photo with your rear camera and once that’s taken it’ll load up your front camera to take a photo but you can move it so it doesn’t take a photo of you. Kind of like a countdown timer.

              If you’re not quick enough you just don’t post a pic that day.

        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

          Must be an age thing. Mid 30’s and I can’t fathom why this is a thing based on the description in this thread. It just sounds so voluntarily invasive, like leaving your door open.
