> I should be able to put all my family in one group, my drinking buddies in another, and my coworkers in another ... and then I can freely share whatever I want with whomever I want.

This is basically what people use private groups for. It feels more intuitive than posting everything as a standard post with restricted permissions.

> I've also had plenty of people not trust the permissions. Like, posting pictures from a party, people will freak out when I tag them ... and even when I tell them that I've locked down the album permissions, they don't trust that some error down the line won't expose everything.

No offense, but they may also not trust that you've configured the permissions correctly, or that your definition of "locked down" is one they think is appropriate for the photo or will be appropriate for the photo in a year or ten years.

None taken, that's a good point ... upon reflection, I'd probably feel just as hesitant about someone else doing the same thing.

+1 for this. (My Anecdote as a 23 year old) Everyone posts/looks to/at snapchat. Most use instagram (but only post public stuff rarely as it is for "high quality stuff" which tends to follow the 20/80 rule (20% of the people post 80% of the content (I haven't posted in months))). Facebook groups/messenger are also used by most of my friends for casual group chats and planning events as you can find anyone and it is more private. Facebook news feed/Instagram stories/twitter are used by less than 10% of people I know.
