I still have Instagram, but only because my friends do; and believe me, I’ve tried to get them to move over to Mastodon, to no avail.
I am sorry to ask this, and I hope you’ll see it as the curiosity it is.
Is instagram that necessary? I mean, not in the “Dont you have alternatives?” way, but rather in the “Do you need something LIKE instagram?”/“Do you really need to know so much about your friends?” sort of way. I don’t have instagram, and when friends want to hang out or do something or talk, they just call me on my phone. That’s pretty much the only way I know about the stuff thats happening.
Anything else I just don’t really have the interest to know or find out. I can’t see the utility in keeping in such enmeshed, deep contact with people via Instagram. The people I really talk to everyday are on whatsapp and that’s usually where we talk.
For some time now I’ve been wondering if something was wrong with me socially, and your comment put that thought back in my head.
I am abroad and have lots of friends that won’t download WhatsApp, so I use Instagram to contact them. Also, a couple of family friends have reached out to me with news or something. It does have a niche for me as a messaging app like Facebook, even if the only reason I use it is simply because other people won’t not use it.
How about Pixelfed? That has more affinity with it at least
They’re still not interested. It’ll take a paywall or something to get them to move on, although they’re not exactly fans of AI…
Yeah, not gonna be easy.
Waiting for Europe to ban ads altogether 🤞
