Man, me too, I want to leave Instagram so badly. Not that I’m addicted to reels or anything, I just can’t seem to go through with the deletion period. Even as I am typing this, it’s on deletion period, and I’m gonna reactivate it again probably. I hate Instagram because it seems fake, people flaunt their lives like trophies and I hate, hate it. And because I am against Megacorps. Fuck Musk and Zuck, and spez.
That sounds like it would be harder to keep than delete. I don’t use it, never have, but the way you describe it sounds like a bad addiction.
Hey, were you replying to another comment? I don’t understand the first part of your comment. Huge thanks if you explain a little bit more. Also, I want to say that the people I follow on Instagram are my friends, one who post actively. These same friends I meet everyday in my University. It feels tiresome[personally, for me], to follow them online as well since I spend a quarter of my day with them in University. I don’t know If I explained correctly or not, it made sense or not. Also, I am not a huge people person, I keep to myself and would like it if people kept to themselves, too, and not display their lives online.
It’s bad because it can be so subtle. Most of my feed, ads and random reels aside, is just friends being happy and having fun. Thing is, a lot post only when they travel or do fun stuff, and some have the money or the terrible financial skills to make that a habit. The end result is that, very subtly, you start thinking everyone has it better than you. Everyone just skips or skims through the boring or bad parts of their life, while you live every moment of yours as you keep comparing it to what you see on Instagram.
It can be a happy place if you don’t frequent it too much and don’t have very toxic friends (and if you can get past the ads and the random stuff that meta throws at you in the feed), but it tends to not go that way.
Edit: I’m not above this, I only post trips as well, as basic as basic bitches get.
