Some social media are like that, others are not. When I read “It’s that I don’t see my actual friend’s posts and they don’t see mine.” I thought that my friends do see my posts and viceversa because we use channels on WhatsApp and Telegram. If all I want is keeping in touch with friends, why should I use media like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok?

The original idea is that you can share this same photo to all your friends and family at once. That’s why it’s superior to 1:1 messaging apps.

The problem is you start following strangers which causes the app to transforms itself to promote strangers over friends and family to meet monthly usage goals. It’s a viscous cycle.

Because in the US almost no one uses WhatsApp and Telegram.

You can use Messenger or iMessage the same way.
