Once you stopped posting on Instagram, people rarely go back and start posting actively again on their profile. Maybe an occasional story but that seems to be it. As IG started over-indexing on vanity, I think less and less people posted regularly and engagement accrued to more of the top 10% of accounts who put a lot of time and effort into their content. I want social to feel less pretentious and more authentic so that people just post and express themselves without having to think about appearances too much. More humanity, less glitz.

I been dumping shit on my stories again lately It's the only human part of the app imo Had a bunch of random exchanges with people I haven't talked to in years It also feels like the only feature that actively tries to show me my friends and not psyop algo feed me

yep, IG slowly turned into a performance stage instead of a place to just share life.

big +1 to the fact that it feels less like a platform you want to regularly post on/use all the time and more like this curated profile of people/things curation certainly has its own place in apps but the main thing you should be wanting to drive users towards(espc on a social platform) is posting

Instagram has done significantly more harm than good, especially for Gen Z, imo.

I’m about to start treating mine as a looping broadcast channel of content drawing people into my music & live streams. A non-stop daily beacon to pull in a potential new audience, auto-scheduled. lol

so long as the algo rewards performative bullschnit, we’re stuck with vanity and social performers “show me the incentive and I’ll show you the outcome”

Me getting back on ig gave me same feeling, but I focus on building meaningful, niche powerful connections there, making a strategy of bringing ig and x people here But I have way more followers here, Will take time, but Ig déchu people maybe will come here and stick since this is more manageable place
