good-bye Instagram

#

Instagram is very pleased with its algorithm. Good for them – but that algorithm is the reason I have deleted my account. I could never see what I want to see in Instagram – again and again and again I would find out what friends were doing days after I needed to know. The only way I could keep up with my friends on Instagram was by going through their feeds one by one. So I’m done with that “service” – and how I wish my friends who use it would post to their own sites instead, or to micro.blog – or to anything except Instagram, where I really want to know what y’all are up to but am algorithmically prevented from finding out.
