Or dice in NYC. Most venues and places are slowly going away from closed gardens.

  > Most venues and places are slowly going away from closed gardens. They are? Honestly, first time hearing about this. I've noticed only big events get posted outside of the IG/etc. Even in Tokyo, a simple thing like checking if a place is open on a public holiday is to check their Instagram.

    Sadly in Tokyo, most businesses post their info to twitter or instagram, but in both cases you're able to read without an account (not well, but it's possible).

      Instagram makes it extremely frustrating without an account. Many times I have checked a small business's opening times on Google Maps only to arrive and find them closed... the only place they reliably post their times is on Instagram. I gave up and got Instagram.

        I guess we need a Nitter for Instagram?

        Only way to go is to leave a 1 star review letting them know they need to publish things outside Instagram

        That is insanely awful take. Why would anyone review something negatively without actually checking it out?

        He did check it out, and it was closed, because they don't post their hours outside of a user-hostile social networking site people shouldn't use and they left their hours misrepresented elsewhere. Poor customer experiences result in poor reviews. At least he did them the courtesy of telling them exactly what the problem was.

      I had a similar experience in Osaka. Prettry frustrating. Actually, I didn't know that you can read the posts without an account! That's good to know!

    It's funny because this should be a non-issue Consider the grammar Hey Alice, did you see the event for Chris's band? No It was on Facebook, publically posted (audience set to public) I'm not on Facebook Like... you post something public on FB/IG and people STILL CAN'T SEE IT because apparently 'public' means 'must make an account'. It's insanity

      Well, the thing is, and people won’t like hearing it… almost everyone has a social media account outside of very small niche groups. Socially speaking, not having an account at all in any SNS (not saying an active poster, by the way!) would be negatively viewed. People don’t care about privacy, data and etc. as much as we would want them to.
