Are you a Meta enjoyer?
Nope. I never made an Instagram account. I used to be on fb all the time, but I deleted my account like 6 years ago and I don’t miss it whatsoever. Now unless you count watching YouTube videos, Lemmy is the only social media I’m on. And I’m a happier person for it.
C. None of the above
I do have LinkedIn which I keep as a professional point of contact. But that is heavily filtered in what I post and what I bother reading.
I also have a Mastadon account for following the infosec.exchange community. Though I basically just lurk and don’t post.
Meta is really the poster child for enshitification.
I don’t feel like they’re the poster child for enshittification; I still use Facebook the same as I did in 2006. It got worse, true, but it’s not enshittification worse. It’s worse because every cunt with a phone can get on from their phones. I don’t feel it’s enshittification as there’s no fees and it still serves the same basic function of keeping in touch with friends/family and uploading photos. How do you feel it was enshittified?
If they were charging for photo storage or a certain number of friends, or fees for business pages, I’d agree. I don’t see monitization or the ruthless pursuit of profit as the main force behind why Facebook sucks these days.
Neither
No. And if there was an alternative I’d not use WhatsApp.
No. I seriously need ig for work, but when the app popped the “pay €12/month or accept tracking” I uninstalled.
No. I was on Facebook when I was in my early 20s but I found it hollow and vapid; everyone being fake, showing off and pretending for their feeds. I also didn’t like how much data Facebook/meta was harvesting so I deleted my account. I haven’t missed it and it’s been over 15years.
The only social media I use is Lemmy (previously reddit), and that is anonymous and separate from my life - way better than the fake shit on Facebook.
Instagram, Tiktok etc - it’s all fake and narcissistic, influencers are just shills, and the companies themselves are just stealing your data and advertising at you the entire time.
Fuck social media, it’s the surge of our age.

No, neither.
The only thing that makes creating an Instagram tempting is the fact that every single tattoo artist in the area seemingly uses Instagram exclusively to post their work, and you can only scroll through so many posts without an account. Makes it very frustrating to research potential artists.
Never touched Instagram. Deleted Facebook a decade or more back.
FB but only as a supplementary contact thing.
Unfortunalty i need insta to talk to people. Wish i could kill it tho
I recently open a intagram account again… Is just easier to keep in touch with old friends there, also tbh easier to have contact with girls. I try no to scroll there tho.
No, but I do use whatsapp.
No and no.
Nope, I only have linkedin as my public social media. Stuff I do on lemmy isn’t directly linked to me.
Yes.
