On the one side, you’re absolutely right. On the other hand, people around us are still using it, especially Musicians and Artists. If I want to find out some concert dates or check the mail of a tattoo artist I like, sometimes I have no other option than checking Instagram, despite killing the artist of my list – which I do not want to :-)

Why? Fuck Instagram.

I disagree. Billions are being made, data centers and AI machines are being built that use the electricity that could power 50 million homes, and that is Meta ALONE. Your tattoo artist and musicians are perpetuating it. Oh well, they don’t need my business. I don’t support people that do that.
If people keep saying “but I have to”, then fuck it, meta won.

I made this because I hate Instagram, but there’s still lots of valid reasons to use it.

No. There is no valid reason to use it. All this does is continue to enable a massive AI data center and Zuckerbergs billions. Walking away is the only viable option.

I was able to delete my Twitter account because of nitter, because I could view posts without logging in.
