I was a bit heated before, but you’re right it wasn’t bad in the beginning. But for myself, I ended up using it too much, to the point where I essentially planned out my weekends so I had things to post.
I guess you could say it was some ego-driven nonsense that motivated me to always be online and always having something new and fresh to show and always one upping myself to be bigger and better and bolder photos. But all of that burned me out. And in the end it was all so superficial 90% of the time.
Truthfully, eventually at some point, it just became depressing scrolling endlessly and seeing the best photos any photographer could want. It was just too much. That’s not entirely Insta’s fault, but also on me for not setting any limits or boundaries. But since uninstalling, my mental health went up noticeably quickly and I never looked back to use it because it serves no need for me.

Fuck Insta. Garbage predatory app that depresses the fuck outta me. Why the fuck would I want an open source version of that? I don’t need social media that badly, I’ll survive just fine without it. Too many people perceive and live their lives through social media and doing it for the gram. Fuck that noise.

Librewolf is too hardened for my use case. By the time I tweak Librewolf to my liking, it’s functionally Firefox, but with a different icon, lol. Just gonna ride out Firefox for the next year or two and them jump off this ship.

Can’t wait till Kagi Browser releases their Linux version of a browser based on webkit, but it’s prob at least another year or more frmo being released and Gnome Web is so featureless it’s useless and can’t even play YouTube videos half the time in 2025…

I stopped working a year ago. Burnt out, broken down, and various physical ailments just broke and depressed me. Moved back in with family to help support my useless ass. Shit sucks and it ain’t going to get any better. But I’ll turn up to every local protest I can cuz this GOP shit is bullshit.

I don’t know if it applies to this or not, but Reddit top posts absolutely love Newsweek, which is a garbage clickbait, pump and dump articles as fast as possible, and now seeing this, it wouldn’t surprise me if there’s something going on.
