I actually used to use Instagram quite a lot because it brought me quite a bit of happiness seeing what my friends were up to and IG had defensive measures to protect me:
- The “you’re all caught up” screen that stops me from scrolling
- The fact that stories signify whether they’re watched
- The fact that my posts feed only contained followed stuff plus ads
So there was the sense of “I’m caught up with my friends’ lives”. Anyway, they’ve changed it:
- They now place random stuff below the list of my friends’ posts
- They place people I don’t follow into the ad slots for stories
Anyway, I use it much less now and we just end up sharing photos in group chats.
Does anyone know of what a true IG replacement is? Like something for your friends and you.
