got it from a thrift shop, I don’t even know what that square thing is

in my opinion its only better with an alternative frontend, if it works well enough. because it cannot add any more datapoints than instagram could, but a good lightweight frontend will add much less, because I won’t need to worry about my mouse movements and page scrolling pace being recorded. uBO and such wont be able to protect against that

that’s ok if you want to publish content. but frontends are for a different purpose: you were never able to use them for that, they are for viewing instagram content

did you try pixelfed? It’s basically a selfhostable, federated instagram

btw, my university (EU) teaches blender

privacy, and preservation
