It's not just you — no one is posting on social media anymore::Social media is on the decline. Instagram is all ads. No one's posting on BeReal. TikTok is for influencers. The new place for sharing: group chats.

But why would you go to a centralized platform for your website?

You can do that too btw, with services like Wix or Squarespace, or specialized services for various niches, like Flickr or 500px if you're a photographer etc.

You can also put together a website in an editor and host it on a generic service where you control your domain and everything.

How would you define and market a service like MySpace nowadays?

How would you define and market a service like MySpace nowadays?

A quick and easy landing page for something with the ability to engage and interact socially over all of the platforms of the fediverse built right in.

It doesn't have to be centralised at all ... and I'm talking about what features are offered by platforms/software that are compatible with the fediverse such that connecting across it can be baked in. All of the specialised services are the sorts of things I'm talking about in terms of what's not on or easily possible (right now) on the fediverse, where the advantage of bringing such things to the fediverse is the possibility of easily reaching a wide audience while still owning your content and platform.
