minus-squareinfeeeee@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up35arrow-down3·2 months agoIs snapchat still a thing? Never used that but I thought from screenshots and memes that tiktok killed it (never used that either)

minus-squarexpinchx@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 months agoDefinitely, I have a few group chats. It’s good for general memery and snapping funny things throughout the day.
