This has been a total game-changer for me. It shifts the focus away from validation and back to just enjoying the content. I love posting and being able to share without any expectations or pressure from others feels so refreshing—it lets me just enjoy the app without all the noise.
I’m foreseeing a future movement. 🙂↔️

Generally speaking, I wanna reorganize the way I use the internet. I wanna participate and interact with people. I feel like on Instagram I’ve been worrying too much about the mystique I create for myself, like I’m constantly advertising myself. It feels icky and I’m ready to give it up.

I‘ve been trying everything to change my habits with instagram and have finally accepted that it’s not me, it’s the app 🫶🏻 I love the visual aspect/grid display of instagram so I’ve been trying out Cara which is a networking/portfolio building app for artists who want their work protected from AI. I really like it so far - I care a lot less about followers and likes and there’s no anxiety about posting. Just chill visual journaling with a bunch of like-minded people who are also weary of techno-capitalism 🌠

The mute option on Instagram is life changing. I feel like unfollowing people feels weird so I love that I don’t have to see things from people that I don’t want to. Perfect option for old friends/exes/whoever. Makes me feel much better when I don’t have as much of a sinking feeling every time I open the app.

when the sun goes down at 5pm it’s hard to watch the remaining hours before bedtime go by, so why not make your roommate be strange outside and take pictures.
