My friend recently showed me what instagram is currently like as I’ve been off of it for years.
It’s honestly so enshittified now!
Like he just kept scrolling and there 0 posts from friends - just influencers, brain rot and ads.
- mentos 2y agoMight be a good name for a competing service. “Get BrainRot on the iOS and Android app stores and start feeling important today!”
- asdff 2y agoSame issue with fb where over time all your friends stop posting after they got busy after highschool. Most I get is a birth announcement or wedding photo on instagram from actual people and that’s not exactly a daily post for anyone. But at the same time people don’t mind its current state. I don’t mind its current state. When I open instagram I get nonstop reels of people doing backflips on skis. I’ve honed my feed as such by only engaging (well, watching and not scrolling away) with those posts really. It is a much better experience than trying to find ski videos on youtube as I don’t need to hunt for the key clip, editing is pretty tight on instagram, and also no ads or other bullshit you get watching things on youtube.
- woutr_be 2y agoI know it won’t be popular, but I would honestly love to have a social network that’s purely just what my friends/family post. No suggested content, no algorithmic feed, no reacting to posts. Just purely whatever they post and ability to leave a comment.
- chikere232 2y agoThat is very doable as a groupchat or a private mastodon or lemmy instance. Invite your family and friends, don't federate with the wider fediverse.
