#BeReal

1 post1 participant0 posts today

des personnes beaucoup plus jeunes que moi m'ont parlé d'un truc qui s'appelle Bereal, où on poste la photo de ce qu'on a devant soi ET la photo de sa gueule au même moment.
Je suis trop vieux pour ces conneries mais voilà ma version low-tech et IA-free : le croquis de ce que j'ai en face de moi, et l'auto-portrait qui va avec

BeReal 🇫🇷 is a French social networking app that was created by Alexis Barreyat and Kevin Perreau in France in 2020.

It's seen as a rival to apps like Instagram or TikTok and it's got features that have been copied by Instagram recently.

But some people see it as more of an 'anti-Instagram' because you can't edit your photos, use filters or see how many followers you have. 🚫

So, what's the deal?

It's basically a photo-sharing app that encourages users to share a daily photo of their real life without filters or editing, using both the front and rear cameras on their device. Every day, users are given a fun and unexpected notification at a random time, giving them just two minutes to take and post a photo. You can choose to share your photo with friends or more people. 📸

It's already got 23 million users worldwide (but you don't hear about it much in the mainstream media).

Did you know about it? Do you use it?

Really enjoyed the concept of #bereal, especially since I have a lot of friends living far away and it's a really low-key thing to stay in contact and at least see a bit of what's going on in their lives. But #enshittificaton sadly made it so buggy and full of advertisements that I seriously consider to stop using it

@jochenwolters Tolle Antwort (die ich leider viel zu spät sehe). Tatsächlich war hier "Chat" gemeint.

Habe mich selber gefragt wieso ich dies eher als Teilen interpretiere, vermute weil ich es so von Instagram kenne.

Die App ist übrigens #BeReal - mir war bis dahin nicht mal klar dass es eine Chatfunktion gibt.
