I've contributed and made more replies on here than I ever did on reddit in a decade. Feels a bit more genuine and accessible. Also trying to close the door on insta, my only other social. Tired of that shit.
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.
