    I love the idea of this, but the only reason I check Instagram is to see what my friends are posting, which I couldn’t do on an alternative, sadly.

      That really is an issue. Shave your head, put an orange robe on and evangelize… I’ll try to convince as many people as possible in my friends circle!

        This is actually why I’m excited for ActivityPub in Threads. I’m hoping that it can function as a gateway drug to the Fediverse.

        “Like Threads? Then continue to follow all your friends there while moving to an ad-free Mastodon client!”

          Totally, I really wish the panic would die down. I’d love it if I could bring my friends over here, and there’s no way they’re going to do that without something like Threads.

      I use Instagram (well, Instander) for the bands I like. I wish I didn’t have to but it’s useful for these reasons. Ditched Facebook but unfortunately can’t loose them both 😤

      Same for me. Same with Snap. I’ve never used SnapChat before, but once I actively went to parties it’s impossible to not use it.

      This is why I have a barebones Facebook account. Simply so people can reach me that only use that.

      This being said it is also sandboxed into web browsers and I refuse to give them permissions for my phone.
