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.

Same. I am happy using discord or family/friend group chats to keep up with them, but I need a 'town square' where I can go and learn what events are on nearby, what restaurants are doing special nights etc. But I don't want that town square to sell me ads, I just want to look at the notice board and see what new stuff takes my fancy. So how do we connect the consumers to the businesses without having an overlord who will try to sell things to the consumers by charging the businesses?
