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.
That’s not true. I post on Lemmy and Mastodon, which I consider social media. I don’t think that websites that communication based on algorithms aiming to serve unsocial purposes should be considered social media.
Barely anyone else does though, thus the point.
That’s the mantra that certain people would want others to believe.

A city and a village are both social structures. I prefer to live in a nice, small village rather than isolated in a horrible city, even if there is only a small number of people who communicate with me. I love this place. Facebook? Not really. Big media? Not at all.

I think there’s two types really. There’s the “hey family, look at my photos and shit that nobody else will care about” social media, and “screaming opinions into the void” social media.
Lemmy and Mastodon are the latter. I guess you can use Mastodon as the former, but I suspect there are better places for that, even if they’re currently spread across a dozen instant messaging apps.
From one perspective, all screaming is in the void.
