To scroll through Instagram today is to parse a series of sponsored posts from brands, recommended Reels from people you don’t follow, and the occasional picture from a friend.

    Divest your attention from these corporations, comrades. This includes regime change propaganda like the Atlantic.

    Instagram’s been given a slow death by Facebook. Logging into my old account, all it is is just videos and sponsored posts. Maybe 1 actual picture.

    @yogthos So true. The last few times I’ve tried to log in, what I’m actually able to see has made it clear there’s no point anymore.

      @KelsonV @yogthos there’s a better way. Use the following feed. I blogged about it a while back.

        @donncha @yogthos That *is* helpful! So annoying that they hide it.

          @KelsonV @yogthos best thing is there are no adverts too! It’s amazing more people don’t use it.

    Pixelfed has been refreshing. Sure it’s all strangers but it’s better than ads

    2/3 is just ads and the rest is manipulated and bad feed content

    @yogthos I had planned on moving all my photography away from Instagram and onto Twitter.

    Instagram pretty quickly became the lesser of two evils, though. I’m experimenting with Pixelfed but there’s not a critical mass of the people I want to share with in the Fediverse…yet.

      I’ve been using Pixelfed for a little while now, and I find there are a lots of great accounts on there that are worth following nowadays. Also worth noting that you can follow Mastodon accounts as well. Tokyo Camera Club Mastodon has a lot of interesting accounts, for example:

      • https://mstdn.jp/@omi_geek
      • https://mstdn.jp/@box_box_you
      • https://mstdn.tokyocameraclub.com/@yuka

      A few accounts I find have great photos are

      • https://pixelfed.social/i/web/profile/435438564597290694
      • https://pixelfed.social/i/web/profile/383259376921035108
      • https://pixelfed.social/i/web/profile/305979241479147520

      and shameless plug for my account here :) https://pixelfed.social/yogthos

    Instagram’s never appealed to me, but it appeals to me even less now than it ever had before.
