Are you a Meta enjoyer?
Nope. I never made an Instagram account. I used to be on fb all the time, but I deleted my account like 6 years ago and I don’t miss it whatsoever. Now unless you count watching YouTube videos, Lemmy is the only social media I’m on. And I’m a happier person for it.
C. None of the above
I do have LinkedIn which I keep as a professional point of contact. But that is heavily filtered in what I post and what I bother reading.
I also have a Mastadon account for following the infosec.exchange community. Though I basically just lurk and don’t post.
Meta is really the poster child for enshitification.
I don’t feel like they’re the poster child for enshittification; I still use Facebook the same as I did in 2006. It got worse, true, but it’s not enshittification worse. It’s worse because every cunt with a phone can get on from their phones. I don’t feel it’s enshittification as there’s no fees and it still serves the same basic function of keeping in touch with friends/family and uploading photos. How do you feel it was enshittified?
If they were charging for photo storage or a certain number of friends, or fees for business pages, I’d agree. I don’t see monitization or the ruthless pursuit of profit as the main force behind why Facebook sucks these days.
It’s free because they’re harvesting and selling all your data to the highest bidder.
No, neither.
The only thing that makes creating an Instagram tempting is the fact that every single tattoo artist in the area seemingly uses Instagram exclusively to post their work, and you can only scroll through so many posts without an account. Makes it very frustrating to research potential artists.
Neither
for facebook marketplace and it is effective
No. Well, kind of. Reluctantly. I check facebook once a week because so much of my kids’ activities are planned there. And I only do so on one specific computer, and in incognito mode.
No and no.
I’m on every site known to mankind, and that includes both of those.
No. And if there was an alternative I’d not use WhatsApp.
If you live in Europe, this might be done sooner than later https://www.androidauthority.com/whatsapp-messenger-interoperability-europe-dma-3423188/
I’m not sure that will apply in my country because a man who looks like a frog and a posh prick with stupid hair sold a bunch of boomers a lie.
Nope. And them making it harder and harder to exist without an account just makes me more resilient. I can’t view content on Facebook anything or even reddit anything anymore. I take that as a win because I’m not being fingerprinted properly so they assume I’m a robot. Which is a win.
Never touched Instagram. Deleted Facebook a decade or more back.
Same
No, and I don’t use whatsapp also.
No. I seriously need ig for work, but when the app popped the “pay €12/month or accept tracking” I uninstalled.
No, and I resent having anything linked to either.
I use Instagram mainly for business purposes. I do have a personal account that I occasionally use.
My FB account is deactivated (in theory), the only reason I haven’t closed it yet is because Meta still hasn’t sent me my data that I requested. I don’t want them to use that against me.
