I disagree. We on the “broadcast” media often underestimate how many people don’t participate.

I keep stats on the most popular Overcast link-share destination apps. What do you think tops the list?

Not Facebook or X or Instagram or Snapchat.

It’s Messages, by a MILE, then mostly other private-messaging apps! The first public-social-network app is #12 on the list, averaging only 1% as many shares as Messages.

Private messaging is FAR more popular than social media.

@[email protected] I don’t see anything like this happening. People generally just want a big audience to listen to them. Add algorithmic timelines on top of that and we have the hell world that is today’s social media.

@marcoarment @vmachiel My family and friends are probably the anomaly but Apple Photostream, shared albums, or whatever they’re call is our most used social network. It includes only the people we want there. And we only share what we want to share.
