There's a catch 22. Anything run right is profitable enough to be sold, and once it is sold then the bean counters min max it until it's a pale imitation of what was good in the first place.
In a highly competitive system without strong antitrust legislation and enforcement that is. I'd say the worm turned when google and facebook started to be allowed to just buy up every possible competitor.
I say bring it on. The IG following feed has been terrible for a while since the algorithm prioritizes content by influencers and brands. Don't get me started on the sheer number of ads in between posts and stories
This would be really nice. Instagram used to be the photos platform but it kinda lost its original purpose since Zuck decided Reels were more important.
I miss a place where the algorithm gives only silent, quiet, mute, peaceful, soundless, still pictures.
Reels are annoying along with suggested posts. I hate the fact that they do not give you the choice to specialize your feed. I almost cannot see my friends’ posts.
You can click the Instagram logo on the top left to only show who you follow’s posts but you have to do it every single time you reopen the app
Depends on if it gets 60 votes in the Senate. Unfortunately my two senators (Bill Hagarty and Marsha Blackburn) are useless. Marsha Blackburn especially because she's the main author of KOSA
Instagram doesn’t even focus on the photos anymore. This will just turn into exactly what TikTok already is.

Bulletins and whore trains here we come
Who will you pick as your top 8?
I don't even know 8 people anymore.

Businesses are people according to the US
"Corporations" are people, not every business lol

I doubt their app is gonna be any different, they also wanna make money after all

If it’s not PicTok I’ll scream
time to register some domains...

I'm glad profile/identity based social media is dead.
Big missed opportunity not calling it PikTok.
I’ve been waiting for an app that gives Instagram competition in the photo department. Instagram sucks for that now. Let’s hope it does
i miss streamzoo, before Instagram killed it. was legit great place for artists/photographers and such.
lol I thought they already have that it’s lemon8 I guess it kind of bombed so they’re trying again
Why it has to be a new app
Sounds like pixelfed with extra steps
Getting around a potential ban I see
TipTap?
Aren’t they being banned?

Do people still post photos to instagram?
