I found this funny flow chart about traditional social media. I am wondering if there is a info graphic like this but with social media of the fediverse. If this does not exist, can someone create it?

    Isn’t instagram the same shit as Facebook in another container?

      Both products of the same company but they seem like quite different experiences and userbases to me. Anecdotally, facebook is where my dad sends his friends things he found funny and instagram is where my brother posts pictures of his nights out

        This. They are run quite separately (even though cross posting is possible). IG is on a roll currently as the legal status of Tiktok is shaky in the US, and Instagram managed to replicate the majority of features.

      No, they are different pieces of software connected to different databases. They are run by the same company, but my understanding is Instagram is mostly about photos while Facebook has a wider variety of purposes (none of it it serves very well), eg microblogging, discussion groups, company pages, and others too.
