What did you start using, instead?
- dylan604 2y agoMaybe they are happy in recovery instead of constantly chasing the tail of the dragon. That would be the happiest ending
- justsomehnguy 2y agoLOL? You don't need to be glued to some social media service 24/7.
- KTibow 2y agoIf getting off it was that easy, a lot less people would be using social media
- benterix 2y agoI believe yes, it's that easy. Zuck is breaking your feed posting ads and low quality retention content, you see only the most vocal discussions, people who post less often are not shown at all, and one day you realize your old FB which was more about connecting with others is just full of shit you have no intention of following at all. Sometimes your muscle memory wins so you open it once or twice to see what is going on, still same unpleasant experience, and then you quit.
- justinator 2y agoJudgement aside, I used the tag to see conditions of areas I wanted to visit. Like if someone tagged photos, #NationalPark, I could see how much snow was on the ground and bring the right gear.
- benterix 2y agoNothing, really. I was tracking the tag #contemporaryart. Some of this was obvious shit, spam, low quality work and so on. But sometimes I could spot real pearls, extremely interesting pieces of work with 1 or 2 likes and no way to get to "top posts" because the artist had too few followers etc. When they turned it off, I basically stopped using Instagram after a few attempts to recreate the experience.
