Aaaaand that’s going to be it for snapchat. FUCK the greed, fuck your ads. FUCK your analytics.
I think Slipknot wrote a song about that lol
Not his car belongs to the CEO of a similarly named company that makes vape juice https://www.tmz.com/2017/12/02/snapchat-ceo-evan-mistaken-identity-bad-driver-lamborghini/
Anyone know of any alternatives with similar functionality?
telegram has “secret chats” that let you set a self destruct timer for all messages sent in those chats. i don’t know of many other alternatives. and even telegram isn’t a drop in replacement, but it could work, depending on what you’re looking for
Just use Signal with disappearing messages feature turned on?
that sounds like a better choice to be honest. i haven’t used signal much and i didn’t know they supported that sort of thing
Honestly Snapchat was fun, but what killed it for me was when it started randomly adding/following users when my account was inactive for a while. So I’d start getting notifications about xyz posting, and I don’t even know who they are
I’m convinced they’re doing this to pad user activity
Is snapchat still a thing? Never used that but I thought from screenshots and memes that tiktok killed it (never used that either)
Definitely, I have a few group chats. It’s good for general memery and snapping funny things throughout the day.
Me throughout my day:
I asked the same question, my friends all abandoned it for Instagram years ago, but I (an American) am seeing a lot of Europeans using it during my travels
Mt family/friend group use it as a way to send pics/videos since MMS isn’t great for that… at least that’s what they say, I don’t have it.
Gen Z loves it for some reason
Tbh I only know 2-3 people who use it actively. Most use instagram DMs. I like snapchat for the face filters though
I think it’s still used a lot for private messaging?
“private”
I think you mean ‘direct’ messaging
Maybe. I’ve only known Snapchat used for sending pictures of one’s privates, which is quite direct now that I think about it.
Are they stupid? In fairness, I don’t know how they’re making any money at all. I’ve never seen anyone interact with the discover feed and therefore see ads. There really isn’t a way to monetize Snapchat without killing it off.
Well if this happens I’m getting rid of it. Yeah I’m older and I use it. But it’s great for the girlfriend and I to quickly send messages and nsfw things. Now that I think about it, I only use it because of her.
These ads will be the last straw. The stupid AI chatbot forces itself to the top of your list already, and above that, they throw in a stupid Snapchat+ ad! Oh yeah, in order to delete the AI bot as a friend, you need Snapchat+…
nsfw things
Why would you use unencrypted social media for that?
You do understand that Snapchat keeps a copy?
Not in Canada where the “girlfriend” “lives” they don’t 🤪
Use signal which has temporary messages
Lol no u won’t
No it isn’t: I don’t use SnapChat!
Yes 🤡
I wish we made more offensive memes using established brands that way we can keep their ads out of our online spaces
Oh no enshittification in crap I don’t use. The horror!
I know social media shows us stuff it wants us to see, but Snapchat shows the absolute worst shit, it has never once shown me something I’d ever want to see. It really is the most ratchet app.
My god why do I still have it, I gotta talk to my therapist about this
Hey it’s me, your therapist. It’s for the nudes.
God you’re right, this is why I pay you the big bucks
Headline: Social Media Service Announces Ridiculous Enshittification Plan
Me: ? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Somebody asked where they could find me on social media the other day and my response was “strange places using fake names”. Eventually turned into me trying to pitch the fediverse but it kinda landed in much the way birds don’t.
At least you had a towel with you.
