IMO the problem is the "media" part of "social media". I wish there was an online platform where my friends and I could give each other text updates and pictures about what is going on in our personal lives, but you couldn't "share" news stories or articles. I don't want to get my news through social media.

Simply removing the "share" function and blocking copy & paste would go a long way.

I know there's going to be some debate about this response but I genuinely think Instagram plays that role in my life. I don't really have the type of friends that do a lot of reposting, but even those that do in the name of activism or donating to a cause limit it to the story feature. If you ignore stories and just focus on actual posts, Instagram is basically Flickr but with room to add captions. There's a mute story feature and also a mute posts feature if necessary.

I don't see many people repost stories or news as actual posts. I would suggest staying away from the discover tab.

if it's something that allows for keeping all contacts in one place with no advertising and not selling my data I'd go for £50/year easy. would save me a ton of hassle in keeping contacts lists up to date and having to bother with multiple platforms.
