#instagram

Was ich an #Ello eigentlich schätze als #Plattform für #Foto: Es fühlt sich mehr so wie eine Ausstellungsfläche an, wenn man das eigene Profil anschaut: https://ello.co/nielso

Was an Ello schade ist: Es ist eigentlich gar kein #SozialesNetzwerk, es findet keine Interaktion statt, es ist mehr so halt tot.

Aber sich Mühe zu geben, sich selbst irgendwie zu kuratieren, zu überlegen, was man warum zeigt, was eine Message haben könnte, ob emotional oder anders… dafür ist der Gigant #Instagram auch kein nützlicher Outlet. Der #Likereflex dort zündet bei #Influencerinnen, die zu jedem x-beliebigen Hashtag nur Fotos von sich selber zeigen, nicht von der Sache oder dem Event.

„Ich selbst als der Mittelpunkt von allem“ ? Eine Art Narzissmus-Zeitgeist? Bin ich frei davon?

Die Likes geben ihnen Recht, sie sind unsere Währung, aber am Ende wie Bitcoin mit nur wenig echtem Gegenwert.

My latest article on #CryingVideos of #Instagram #TikTok is published!

Read #OpenAccess: http://bit.ly/3OTyfJq

I discuss how and why users cry to 'affectuate' bonds in an attempt to build their personal brands.

The #CryingVideos have a mass appeal because of their impropriety. Their impudence challenges authoritative norms of screen performances, the dictations of what should be seen and shown and what shouldn’t.

Feedback and commments welcome!

Social media giant Meta’s #Facebook took action against 41% of complaints it received from users and #Instagram against 54% of grievances raised by users in April 2023, according to the company’s latest India Monthly Report.

What the heck is this top comment on the #WhiteHouse’ #Instagram lol

@tchambers As far as why defederated #Mastodon variants may embrace the #Fediverse, it will be because of two predictable events:

👉🏾 #Instagram’s InstaPost (P92) entering the Fediverse
👉🏾 #WordPress making #ActivityPub either a core feature or heavily promoting the ActivityPub plugin.

Both would massively expand the Fediverse & allow the sites to embrace the Fediverse as a whole again.

I heard rumours that the #Instagram team is working on something with #ActivityPub support intended for text-based updates to followers. This would mean ~1 Billion active monthly users would come out of nowhere onto the #Fediverse.

What do all of you think about this? Would you want your instance to block this, or would you do so yourself?

So I went and got some protein powder which gives a whopping 35 grams of protein per serving (as seen here - https://instagram.com/p/Cs4RpHcqaNP/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==) and I figured it would be a good idea to find my shaker.

Couldn't think where I'd put it, but finally found it!

Amazing just how many protein shakes are the 'best in the UK/World', according to their ads on #Instagram anyway.

I also seem to have added the appropriate words and phrases to the block list due to a lack of comments on my IG posts 😅

@velobetty I used to love #Instagram as posting photos is such a great to keep in touch with friends all over the world. However it's becoming less of a social network with all the ads and the algorithm recommending posts from people I don't follow, not to mention the effect it has on my mental health and screen time, so I've decided to enjoy a summer without it

Elisabeth Anderson :bt:

Ages ago I was on the Edinburgh to London train and at a table with two young women, very glamorous with extremely long acrylic nails and absolutely perfect makeup. I couldn't help but see their #Instagram accounts which appeared to be set up for a trip to the UK as they spent the entire time posting and editing stuff on them and while they looked beautiful in real life their photos looked NOTHING like them on Insta.

The woman next to me then bought a couple of thousand followers on some site.

MikeFromLFE

@velobetty
I rarely look at #instagram now mainly because it's difficult to differentiate the posts from the adverts.
I also dislike the video-like posts of multiple pictures (CBA to find the correct name for them)

Elisabeth Anderson :bt:

#Instagram used to just be a place I'd post photos and use filters which would make them look quite cool.

Then it sort of became a place to flex and show off, although that didn't really affect me.

Although more recently there seems to be a lot more hostility in comments from private accounts and I was wondering why...

I think it might be because people can link their Facebook account and are bringing the cultural hostility from #Facebook.

The decision was a rare victory for Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, as it battles lawsuits filed by the federal government, states, foreign regulators and consumers in privacy, antitrust and consumer protection disputes.

In his opinion, Judge Maurice A. Ross of Superior Court for the District of Columbia said Facebook’s policies had clearly disclosed how third parties could obtain data “such that a reasonable consumer could not have been misled” under the district’s consumer protection law."

Screenshot from Instagram of user "fideldidnothingwrong". It's a "I never said thank you" meme from Batman Begins (2005). The top portion, showing actor Gary Oldman as police detective Jim Gordon, is labelled "Millennial Marxist-Leninists," along with the typical "I never said thank you" dialog/text. The bottom portion, showing actor Christian Bale as Batman, reads "Michael Parenti," along with the typical "And you'll never have to" text. The bottom panel is also yellow-tinged, referencing/calling back to the famous "Yellow Parenti" video that shows a talk Michael Parenti gave in 1986, where the original video feed had a distinct yellow tinge to it (see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xP8CzlFhc14 ).

Message from Dr. Marx.

We have nothing to lose but our chains.

As AI goes mainstream and "AI photographers" dominate my feed it becomes evident how weak online communities are. What felt like a certain tribe is just a fragile web hold together by trends and an algorithm. Twitter showed how quickly this can break, and it feels a bit like that on photography Instagram right now. Photographers made the app big, but there is nothing that protects existing communities from a wave of fake "content".

So I made an #instagram account because people use it for chat and I have 100 other chat programs, why not? Then they deleted my account, never telling me why. So I made another one. Now they suspended that. When I go to appeal on their support website the appeals web form says 'Go to Instagram and confirm it's you before requesting a review.'
... I can't access the account to confirm anything.
I can't even back up my contacts.

When you talk about #Instagram here on Mastodon (or anywhere in the fediverse) have you actually spent much time on Instagram? Because #Pixelfed is only like Instagram in the most basic sense. Instagram is mostly populated with people selling products, services or themselves. Instagram is like a tame version of #TikTok. If federated platforms begin to look like these places I personally will drop them.

Matthew Toohey

@timrichards I don't really use #instagram but will be interested to see what others have to say on the subject.

Tim Richards

Baffled by how little interaction my Instagram posts are getting nowadays, especially since I'm posting from a big Europe trip. I assume it's the algorithm not showing my posts to anyone. I used to get at least 10 to 15 likes on everything, now I'm struggling to get up to 5.

Should I give up? I really loathe Instagram's timeline nowadays, full of video and ads and general rubbish.

Social Network e Fediverso

Point blank, a mass Fediblock isn't going to work with #Meta.

The cold truth is that people will use #Barcelona whether it federates or not. Even if it fails, Barcelona will probably have more users out of the gate than almost every project save Mastodon. Hell, it will probably eclipse #Bluesky too.

And even if you convince every server to defederate -- which you won't -- this will not be a PR coup for the Fediverse. Newspaper headlines won't blare "Fediverse successfully resists Meta." Instead, they will probably follow @gruber@mastodon.social take with "Open source zealots complain that an open protocol is open."

Again, as I've said countless times, I'm not saying you should federate with Barcelona or any Meta-owned property. If you want, defederate. The joy of the Fediverse is freedom of association.

But a mass Fediblock doesn't solve a few important problems with Meta, and perhaps makes them worse.

The most critical problem is that Meta users need to migrate away from Meta-owned social networks. Until now, a migration path has simply been unfeasible to most. But when Barcelona gets launched, it is possible that many of them will become aware of a greater Fediverse.

How to build that awareness? By interacting with them through services beyond Barcelona.

This approach works. I've interacted with many Mastodon users through services beyond Mastodon, and this has resulted in adoption of other Fediverse software. #Calckey is a case in point.

However, there's a bigger problem concerning Meta: Fediverse replacements for Meta-owned social networks aren't getting mass adoption. And it's not because these apps aren't good.

#Pixelfed is an #Instagram replacement. It is also one of the slickest apps on the Fediverse. Yet, Pixelfed only has 150,000 registered accounts.

#Friendica is a #Facebook replacement. It's been around since 2010. It is a mature product that does many things very well, but Friendica only has 17,000 registered accounts.

The software is great but we are failing to effectively market the Fediverse beyond Mastodon. Now I'm trying my darnedest to change this, and so are many people. But facts are facts. Fediverse alternatives to Meta are a blip on the radar.

Refusing to federate with Barcelona won't change this. How do I know?

Because we don't federate now, and the status quo remains intact.

Meanwhile, Meta is practically gifting Pixelfed and Friendica an opportunity for federation, and it would be foolish to not consider broader implications.

How is it that more people aren't considering this opportunity?

Dare I say that most people -- including devs -- suffer from myopia concerning what the Fediverse is. The Fediverse is not Mastodon, and it is wrong to view the Fediverse solely through the eyes of Mastodon.

And I'll go further: by focusing Barcelona on text, I suspect that Meta is likewise making the same mistake of viewing the Fediverse as a "Twitter killer".

What they may not be considering is that the Fediverse might be a "Meta killer" too. And connecting Barcelona to the Fediverse is opening a can of worms Meta hasn't entirely considered yet.

If Barcelona is indeed text-based, what will happen when a Barcelona user encounters Pixelfed and asks, "Why does this post show reels? And why can't I do the same?"

Believe me, this is the kind of content that triggers migration.

We need to think bigger than Fediblock. Yes, for your own mental health and safety, you may not want to federate with Barcelona. However, there needs to also be a means for Barcelona users to encounter content outside Barcelona.

Perhaps there needs to be "lobby" servers that help Barcelona users enter the greater Fediverse -- helping them make the switch beyond Meta.

@teachpaperless The problem here is that spreading people in a whole lot of different services in the fediverse undermines real dialogue and, hence, is a thread to democracy in ways similar to the centralized services as #twitter, #Facebook, #instagram and others.

I commented on a UKFactCheck #instagram post about prison populations, and got about 800 likes. In the thread, I had a few people disagree with my thoughts, and so I shared my rebuttals with statistics.

Then some insulting Tory comes bumbling along demanding we debate privately instead of publicly - I wonder why?

Oh, never mind, this is why - so she can insult, berate and dismiss without actually proving anything 😂🤷🏼‍♂️

A series of Instagram stories and explicit voice notes being spammed, alongside comment notifications; this is what Conservatives thing is valid debate. Not my fault you’re too scared to expose your stupidity and lack of substance publicly.

is anyone on my corner of the fediverse a fan of or themselves a #contentCreator (#youtube #twitch #tiktok #instagram #peertube #pixelfed etc-anything, really)? if so, please connect with me!

i know it's gauche to ask for boosts on the fediverse, and normally I never do. but every time I search for #contentcreator on my own instance I get NOTHING, and I don't want to have to make a half dozen accounts on other instances to find other creators either. if I could just establish a network of fellow #creators (preferably #videoCreators, but #artists, #writers, #photographers etc are fine also) here on my home account, that would be wonderful.

maybe I could even find some creators to say hello to at #anaheim #vidcon in three weeks 😁

One detail is interesting: You’ll be able to follow accounts from Mastodon. That’s a clever way of increasing the reach of the service. I’m not sure in what other way it’s going to be “decentralized”—given that it’s completely owned and managed by Meta.

Der bald kommende #Twitter-ähnliche Service von #Instagram soll kompatibel mit dem Fediversum und mit Bluesky sein, hört man. Gute Sache, das! Dieses Dings könnte im besten Fall der Durchbruch werden, für freies und unabhängiges Geposte — und das Ende der Elon-Vorherrschaft in der Microblogging-Sphäre. Bin jetzt schon gespannt auf die Culture-Clashs zwischen Parfüm-Influencer*innen und Fundamental-Mastononisten! Diversity rocks! :-)

So I'm trying something on my #instagram account for a bit of fun, and thought I'd try it here on #Mastodon as well.

I'm setting myself a 30 day challenge to put an image of something, anything, up every day. Goodness only knows what will end up in the sequence.

Anyway, hope people find it a bit of fun, as is intended! ?

Literally the first time in weeks(?) that I want to see something on #Instagram, and it happens to be down.

The opinion is divided. There is no consensus. #Meta #Facebook #Instagram #Fediverse #SocialMedia

If Facebook and Instagram were to join the Fediverse and you could follow users from that world from your instance, would you do it?

Boosts appreciated. I'd like to know the current consensus of the Fediverse.

#Facebook fears the #Fediverse. Here’s how #Instagram will try to conquer it (EEE!!!): https://darnell.day/facebook-fears-the-fediverse

Too long; Did not read:

👉🏾 Instagram will embrace #Mastodon, #Misskey, #Pixelfed, via their new platform (which I call #InstaPost). Millions of will join

👉🏾 InstaPost will extend it’s reach by allowing third party hosting companies to host the platform, evading blocks by Admins

👉🏾 InstaPost managed hosting will offer premium features at cheap prices, extinguishing rivals

I'm sure you can see now why I am less than thrilled about the enthusiasm with which people are looking at #Facebook “joining” the #Fediverse with their #ActivityPub-compatible #Twitter clone, despite there being literally NO INDICATIONS that their attitude today is any different from the one at the time of #XMPP —and if anything, the opposite, as we've seen with #Instagram blocking the #joinPixelfed tag.

So let me wrap my head around this regarding #ActivityPub...

- #Tumblr (572M blogs) wants to integrate it
- #Instagram (2B users) wants to start an app that supports it
- #Mozilla starts its own #Mastodon instance
- #Medium started its own Mastodon instance
- #WordPress now has an official ActivityPub plugin
- #Flickr (60M users) is considering using the protocol

🤯

Am I missing something or does it look like the #Fediverse might actually win the "social media wars" in the end? 🤔

A scene from Mr. Bean when the blue shirted man draws in the papers, labeled "Elon Musk" and in the paper there is a blue check mark. Mr. Bean is looking at the paper in secret with funny face beside him, his shirt is labeled Mark Zuckerberg. As in, he is copying Musk's paper.

It's amazing how a single man and the ruin of #Twitter can bring other companies to try their chance in microblogging. First years of nothing and then #Spoutible, #Bluesky and now #Instagram/#Meta...

Whilst I am worried they will try the old “embrace, extend, extinguish” plan, I must admit I’m quite excited for #Meta to join their apps into the #Fediverse.

An extra 2bn people to talk to on here! And the ones who really enjoy it will find out they can switch to #mastodon or #calckey or one of the others for a similar experience but with no ads and better moderation. Nice!

#Instagram joining the #ActivityPub network is going to be fun to watch lol.

So many arguments against what #BlueSky is trying to accomplish with the AT Protocol are going to be tested soon.

Throw in Instagram's service coming online a month from now, versus the snail's pace Bluesky is taking to go public, despite a ton of built-up demand. (While I know software development takes time, time's a-wasting, "Flash"...)

Either way, if Bluesky and/or Instagram's knockoff catch on, it doesn't look good for Twitter in the long run?

Otherwise, the comment about being tied to ActivityPub makes me wonder if it could be the "Chromebook version of Mastodon" take that I feel could be popular. It sounds easy to use, has Meta's moderation, and is backed by a large company with resources. And while Zuckerberg isn't popular, he's Mr. Charismatic compared to Elon (plus, Mark isn't rubbing his presence in FB/Instagram users' faces).

Hmm... on one hand, it's still owned by Meta, and Facebook/Instagram's flaws still linger over all of this.

OTOH, Instagram is still popular, even by some as a Twitter alternative (versus going back to Facebook, or coming to Mastodon).

A few questions:
- will Meta's Twitter replacement have a chronological feed?
- will it be remotely friendly for adult creators (apparently one of Twitter's appeals, as one of the few online spots for such left)?

Interesting.

#Meta is making a new #twitter-like service which extends IG, apparently uses #ActivityPub, and is compatible with #Mastodon. Existing IG users just use their current accounts to log in and their followers are connected automatically.
