Most people that still use it share "funny" nonesense, but the amount of genuine personal postings has gone down. Instagram is not my age-group, so I couldn't really say, but at least I have never felt pressure to join. I call most of my friends on the phone, with very little exceptions. To sum it up: If I wouldn't read about the downfall of society because of social media on HN, I probably wouldn't have noticed. Likely a US specific problem, which is fine, after all, you guys pushed most of this social poison, so it seems fair that you get most of the fallout as well.
