I literally only wanted to use Instagram for looking up porn star accounts and viewing softporn material, yet SOMEHOW I seem to mostly see non-porn material. Artwork and craft projects and whatever, everything but porn. Whatever, one thing I've noticed though is that if I make a comment on a porn star account and it's something lewd and inappropriate, it will never get removed for any reason, no matter what language I use. YET, on multiple occasions, I've made completely G-rated comments on non-porn posts, the most recent one about the difference between Star Wars & Star Trek (fantasy vs sci-fi), and that comment will get removed, there's not even any curse words being used. I have no idea why it's happening, is it that I'm writing too much and using too many big words? I'll write the most offensive horny things on porn accounts, and nothing, but as soon as I write up a semi-intellectual comment on a non-porn posting, it gets removed. I'm just mystified as to what's happening and what's triggering it.

Meta is talking to celebrities like Oprah and the Dalai Lama about being early users. ‘We’ve been hearing from creators and public figures who are interested in having a platform that is sanely run,’ a top exec told employees.
As the title says, today I decided to permanently delete Instagram. Of course after 30 days lol, as Instagram makes you wait 30 days to delete your account (a queue). I mostly deleted Instagram, causes the direction the company is heading (Facebook/meta). It's terrible that companies went from simply an app meant to share moments to big data analytics and finding a way to market you and your data. I also feel that big data social media brings a toxic atmosphere as it's made that way, it's made to get you addicted. Of course, I'll still use social media such as pixelfed or something else to host my moments and travel with family. But I will definitely be limiting my use of big mainstream apps. As I've grown older, I mainly only use text message such as signal or iMessage for communication and YouTube/odysee for media consumption. An honestly I feel better after deleted the Instagram app, anyway thanks lemmy followers for listening to my story, and maybe it'll inspire others. My Instagram following was 10k+ so you could imagine it was hard, but followers don't mean anything.
