Got rid of Instagram ..
like FB it's simply become a vehicle for "influencers" with its myriad random feeds that I have no interest in and can't keep up with muting.
No longer a place to see my friends and their cute kids and animals, keep up with fam, etc.
Alas - I'm better off spending time IRL anyway!
= new reply since forum marked as read
I am very close - since I left FB and Twitter, and do a lot of garden education, I've clenched my teeth and am still on IG, but I generally HATE it - I post some content, but really follow hardly anyone and read pretty much nothing. It is now a garbage pit - wasteland - filled with annoying music and narcissistic reels.
Real life indeed - books, music, films - and lots of walks in the woods.
I hope to be off ALL of it in a year or so. I will have my blog to share stuff (but who has the attention span to read blog posts any longer?)

The app’s original purpose has been lost in the era of “performance” media."

Love your anniversary post today, btw!! Quite fetching! We married in 1980, too!
