Big tech are the new big tobacco. Not that big tobacco is gone or anything. But they know the deleterious effects of their products more than anyone else and always try to cover up to protect their profit margins.
When asked if the company had studied the app’s effects on children, he said, “I believe the answer is yes.”

And it is disgusting.
Aha, i think Pixelfed would be better alternative for insta.
tbh I see Pixelfed being much more akin to what Instagram was in its early days, being more focused on being a platform for photographers (in a more professional way).

Instagram is toxic period.
Meta is cancer, don’t let it metastasize!
