I’ve been using Instagram as a way to stay up to date with all the local community events or small businesses doing events around me for the past couple of years.

With everything happening at Meta and TikTok, I’ve deleted and uninstalled most social media accounts and apps.

Do y’all have any suggestions for keeping up to date on local events around your neighborhoods without having to use Instagram or Facebook? Do I have to sign up for 30 email newsletters?

    Buddy they don’t even put it on their website.

    Is that the right way to run a business? Heck no, but it’s what’s happening and I like seeing jazz at the speakeasy style bar in a laundromat so I gotta ask someone with an Instagram account to check for me.

      Have you spoken to the business? Maybe they can offer a solution that you’re not aware of.

      Maybe you can get a group text going with other patrons who will text the group about it? Maybe you can set up an RSS feed from their instagram account?
