I am very extremely triggered by that meme 😂. Not least because I got melasma every summer through my SPF50 BEFORE I EVEN STARTED ALL THE GODDAMN ACTIVES. There must be a metaphor for this. Like bailing out a boat as fast as the water is coming back in or something...

I have spent the past week trying to figure out if I can deactivate my personal IG and just keep my hobby one. (Yes, you can, but it always requires more effort than I have at that moment.) Of course I'd probably sink into the same bad habits with the hobby account eventually. Yay modern times!!

My IG was suspended in March for some reason. I've posted once and liked or commented on a few posts. I just don't use it. They requested a hostage selfie for me to get it back. Hahahahaha. No!

I used to like the crafty side of IG but have realised it's actively demoting anything that doesn't have a vaguely human figure in it, as well as occasional users. Selfies or GTFO!

Same reason I don't do TikTok. I had a hard enough time taking a selfie for an avatar. LOL IG doesn't even request a selfie for everyone to get their account back. Some just need to enter the code they send you. I have to write it on a piece of paper and take a picture of me holding it up to my face with my hand clearly showing I'm holding the paper. It's the dumbest thing I've heard of.

My brain breaks when I scroll through IG, too!

Instagram was a royal pain in my ass from the start. I got so many weirdos and could never get in to my own account. Not surprised, it's a branch of a very big book with a big SELFIE! (Facebook).

I was trying to weigh what Hammish said and how you answered. I get what he is saying. You know, do good where you can. But, I also thought your answer was quite delicious - to hell with martyrism!

Notes feels like Twitter to me. I'm using it but... Let's see if it turns into a shithole .
