Instagram should have been a weed delivery service
Likewise, AirDrop should have been a drone-based delivery service. Maybe they could partner up!
“Drop” in my language is a word for “a person you KYC everything shady on” - kinda like a “money mule” in English, but way broader. So…
How about they make the app stop refreshing my feed when I have to put the phone down for a second? Got real tired of losing what I was looking at when I re-opened it. I stopped using Instagram because of it.
this is gonna pump out racism, antisemitism and 9/11 content, isn’t it.
Their logo is literally a camera so what’s the point of the app then? Though I’ve heard it’s absolutely overrun with AI slob anyway just like Facebook itself. ‘Social’ networks just can’t help themselves becoming the dead internet theory, can they?
Sharing photos was the point of the app 6 years ago. Now the point is to either meticulously modify yout online image to look like the coolest person on the world - or just spampost memes/porn/disinformation to get followers and brand deals
I’m all for corporations souring their dopamine pipes. Perhaps it may encourage the users to do something useful with their free time, maybe even pick up a book or two (said he, while scrolling Lemmy in bed).
Discworld isn’t gonna read itself.
Interesting watching social media turn into… Just media. Nothing social about it anymore, It’s little bite sized chunks of infotainment.
Traditional media was nothing like this. It wasn’t so granular, it couldn’t create individual realities for individual users.
The websites we use have the power to determine whether we believe in genocides or not or if we know the civics of our own community.
Ugh. I hope they clearly flag AI content and allow users to filter it.
