Not to mention one person having multiple accounts for different purposes and business accounts. Instagram is big, no doubt, but not 2 billion users big
I first questioned why two billion cats have Instagram accounts, then realized there can’t be 2 billion Egyptian Maus in all the world, much less on Instagram.
I tried to use it, but honestly without an algorithm, it’s simply an empty page. And I don’t want to follow hashtags, since there’s usually too much semi-relevant garbage linked to those. So either I have a curated feed of only the people I follow, which gets boring, or I got nothing at all.
I kind of like the boring aspects of it. I scroll through the feed to the end of new stuff, and then i’m done for the day. It’s a bit like I treat emails. I do miss the inspo of the sewing and knitting community of instagram, though.
A radio presenter this morning was talking like we all have Instagram, I found that incredibly annoying.
There are 2 billion MAUs on there. We are the weird ones.
According to Instagram

And how many are bots?
Yeah, just for my roommate ages back there’s her, her dog, the creepy person stealing the pictures of her dog and making an account based on that

cat?
Someone confused MAU (Monthly Average Users) with Mau (the Egyptian Mau cat). :)
Maus?
Pre-death Deadmau5?
Deadmau5 is alive and still active. Am I missing something here?
They removed the first half “Dead” from “Deadmau5”, leaving “Maus”. It’s a joke.
Monthly Active Users
Monthly active mice?
It’s german for mouse.
Ich weiß, ich bin eine Katze.
2 billion is only a quarter of 8 billion. They are the weird ones.
I’m fine with being weird, my beef is the presumption that everyone has Instagram.
How many of those are bots or alts?
We are the 72%. They’re the weird ones.
Sure, two billion is a lot, but that is still only a third of all living adults.
Pixelfed?

You can follow other people. My Pixelfed isn’t empty.
Yeah I follow all 3 people I know that use it. Hooray.
Oh, I follow people who have content I like. I’m using purely as a photographic content thing, which I thought it, and Instagram originally, were for.

That’s what I’m on. I need to take all the picture off my Instagram.
How does that work? Does this just show up as a comments section tied to an image?
Sorry, I meant I use Pixelfed not Instagram. Not that I’m posting these comments from Pixelfed.
