Basically turned me off from buying one until the next version. Not dealing with the scalpers for something that’s that inferior to my OLED steam deck. Saw a report that N will only be launching with 1/3 of the amount of switch 2’s they launched for the Switch 1. The scalpers are going to have a field day if that’s true.
That’s what the downvote is for 😉
You could just not share every little scrap of your mundane lives
We agree on that and I find people who do that really annoying -often muting them-, but that’s not really how I use Instagram for myself. I use Instagram to post vacation photos or to share some unusual life news, maybe four or five times a year and that’s about it with posting. I just checked and I posted 3 times in 2024 and 9 in 2023, all vacations, death of a pet or moving news - All worthy of sharing with friends, imo. Otherwise, my main use case for Insta is to track things locally, like restaurants, bars, clubs, shows, events, etc. Unfortunately there’s not a better alternative for that sort of use case in another app right now. It’s a bummer because I would love to move off of social media and use an alternative, but local stuff can’t be accessed by things like RSS feeds and lots of businesses don’t really do newsletters anymore - or in some cases don’t even bother with websites.
There are a lot of people circlejerking in this thread about not using social media and patting themselves on the back, but people who like to go outside their house and who want and actually try to keep in touch with friends can find it pretty useful. Also, Lemmy and forums are practically social media - so stop being so hypocritical with your reality warped dissonance. I see too much of that already on Instagram and reddit.
I’m on iOS and the app is having similar behavior for me.
