Memes

I use Instagram because there's art on Instagram. I can have direct conversations with artists and musicians I follow. I'm Internet friends with an alternative country music singer I showed up as a fan of. I've gotten personal advice from an artist I consider incredibly wise. And I suppose I'm networking. I have a bunch 0f regional cannabis industry companies and professionals on there. I can't get any of that from Lemmy, which has already been called social media in this discussion. From the moment I had the opportunity, I've always done most of my socializing online. I've just grown to the point where I can't get all my social needs met by pseudonymous conversations with strangers, as important as that still is to me.
