Instagram is all ads. No one's posting on BeReal. TikTok is for influencers. The new place for sharing: group chats.

Thanks for that Robin Dunbar info! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] urshanabi@lemmygrad.ml 1 point 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) Of course! Here's is a link I have more resources as well if you'd like. A quote from another article I have saved: According to John Cacioppo, a social neuroscientist who specialized in the study of loneliness (he died in 2018), humans would have evolved a built-in bias against easily making friends because avoiding an enemy would have been more important than making a friend. “If I make an error and detect a person as a foe who turns out to be a friend, that’s O.K., I don’t make the friend as fast, but I survive,” Dr. Capiocco said in a 2017 interview in The Atlantic. “But if I mistakenly detect someone as a friend when they’re a foe, that can cost me my life. Over evolution, we’ve been shaped to have this bias.” A link for the second article here permalink fedilink source parent
