Yeah the instagram posting is such a complete BS. I have a bogus instagram account where I don't follow anyone for the couple times a year I need to find set times for an artist or that kind of stuff.
We need to shame artists/events/clubs that only post on Instagram

- Arainach 5mo agoSure, for one category of music in some cities there's a resource. There are often community-curated lists that have some things, but if you want specific things or if you want everything/most things, it's the big platforms. I'm part of some local photography groups. There's a Discord where members plan informal get togethers, but the big events are all posted on Instagram. I follow a number of local bartenders, and their popup events are all on Instagram. Same for local performing artists. My bike club coordinates through a Facebook page. Honestly, none of my non-tech interests are viable (in a group setting) without Meta properties.

- Arainach 5mo agoI find a life surrounded only by people who already do the things I do unfulfilling. I also find that almost no one who works outside of tech cares enough about privacy or other issues to care to move off the big platforms. I already spend my entire work day surrounded by tech workers, I'm not going to change my hobbies to spend more time around them.
