This is a more light hearted and open ended post. How many of you have witnessed the birth of the social media ?

I’m working on a project called Anakiy a chatbot – you can create your own custom story with audio, it’s a fun, interactive platform where people can: • Ask questions (study help, puzzles, general queries) • Get creative stories, jokes, or activities instantly • Learn and explore in a way that feels more engaging than just searching Google

Right now, I want to grow Anakiy’s presence on Instagram through creative posts and reels – something that can really connect with students, learners, and curious minds.

I’d love to know from you all: • What are some smart and low-cost ways to market? • How do you come up with engaging reel/post ideas that people actually share? • Any tips for building early traction without paid ads?

Any idea to make mu chatbot AnaKiy a good viability and engagement would be really helpful.

👉 At the same time, if you’re someone who’s into marketing, social media content, or wants to learn by doing (interns welcome!), I’d be happy to collaborate. No big experience required—just creativity and curiosity.

You can use AnaKiy directly by sending a simple “Hi” on: • WhatsApp: +91-8007766668 • Telegram: search and send Hi on @AnakiyBot)

Thanks in advance for your ideas, and hopefully I’ll connect with someone who wants to learn and grow along with this project 🙌

Social media the most powerful propaganda tool of all times.

In the 1960s you would say the same thing about TV, and you'd be right. Before that it was the cinema. It's not because the mediums as such are inherently evil, but they carry an inherent power that can be used for evil.

There is, however, another element to it, and one that is completely new for social media. That's the illusion that we can actually contribute in a meaningful way by participating.

Nobody believes they are fighting fascism by watching TV all day. Yet, on social media, we waste our time shouting at clouds rather than going out in the real world to actually achieve something. We collectively tread in water as democracy dies, all the while feeling like we are "doing our part".

I participate in the Fediverse because I have hope that we are building something different; something that can derail the large platforms that are used for evil, and where the organization of actual opposition can be possible. I think it might be. But I am also afraid I am just wasting my time.
