I've had the same experience. I've made a friend on insta because of our mutual creative interests, learning from each other. Sending gifts and eventually meeting. Such potential social media has indeed. Hopefully things will turn around some day, focusing solely on what social media started out as. Keeping in touch with friends, sharing and meeting new ones, in a safe way without all the craziness and madness.
