    I think Meta is doing a decent job with Instagram. I mean except for collecting all possible data and psychological profiling of users to serve them targeted ads, it’s a decent enough platform. And the only one still allowing for engagement with your actual friends rather than exclusively professional content creators.

      WTF are you on about? no one likes instagram shorts and the feed is a jumbled mess of bullshit and advertisements. I deleted mine a long time ago and don’t regret it for a second.

        it’s “reels” i think tiktok recommends better videos, but IG has closed the gap in recent years.

      It’s not. Instagram is popular the way it is because “It’s going to be a lot harder to pull off massive protests” there.

        they haven’t owned it for that long yet

        they acquired it in 2012.

          …OK, well I guess we wait until the wrong person is in charge of that division. Also I’m old because that feels like yesterday…fuck.
