Blogging is evolving could be a better way to put it. It is not just social media, there are places like dev.to, medium and substack where blogging is happening. These are not necessarily social media as categorised like FB,Twitter.
Also, there are a lot of static site generators now. Jekyll, Hugo and Pelican are some of the ones that comes to my mind now. They are making blogging more accessible IMO.
Ironically enough, I started blogging a couple of years ago because of social media. I found that social media is not a place for having/sharing concise and thought through ideas or conversations. It is a place to share instantaneous thoughts which are mostly emotionally charged and therefore could be emotionally taxing or unproductive.
But having a blog let's me share my thoughts in a better way instead of a tweet for example. And the audience seems to be much better than in a social media too.
It is like in a way yelling my thoughts from the top of a mountain. There is a chance that someone could hear it, but that is not why you are there, yelling, in the first place.
...Also to occupy my lil corner in the world wide web too!
