I keep hearing (anecdotally, of course), that people are starting to prefer Instagram because long form discussions are more difficult there. They seem to be seeking an escape from the news.
Fair point about the event planning ... if FB were to cross-launch the sane event planning DB on instagram and whatsapp, I suspect that would be pretty much a killer app.
- code_duck 8y agoPeople in my circle of glass artist related accounts post a lot less politics on IG than FB. It is harder to repost articles, as well as have discussions as you noted (I think I lived through a week where IG was experimenting with adding threaded comments, though). I find FB’s curation of political posts to be poor and the venue to be an embarrassing one in which to discuss politics. So, I use IG when I want to connect with these folks.
- xkjkls 8y ago> They seem to be seeking an escape from the news. I mean that's about as 2018 as it gets. I'm not entirely sure if that's a permanent trend though.
- CodeCube 8y agoHonestly, I see this as part of an _accelerating_ trend. I don't think it's going to change, and is only going to become more pronounced.
