This STUPID fucking AI feature in Instagram's search function is fucking UGLY it clogs up the UI it shoves shit in my face I'm NOT interested in I do NOT want to imagine an alien handbag or whatever insipid tripe AI aficionados like GET THIS SHIT OUT OF MY FACE

and even when I go to APK sites to download earlier versions of Instagram it STILL comes back like a fuckign weed (not the 420 kind)... maybe this is my fault for using Instagram as my primary "IRL" socmed site... maybe i need to stop using "IRL socmed" sites

from Twitter. I freed myself from Twitter. As in, I deactivated my account. I just couldn't deal with the muskrat's shit anymore (see my prev. post for context). Some of y'all may have noticed my Twitter name being removed from my intro post, so that's why.

As for how I feel about it, I like it for the most part. The one thing I miss the most is how easy it is to find stuff on search engines (granted, it probably sucks ass in some aspects, but I will forever respect it way more than Tumblr's search system), as well as the fact that (so far) a lot of East/Southeast Asian artists I followed don't have accs on other socmed sites. (except for Pixiv, but idk if I'll ever make an acc. there.)

But in terms of me not having Twitter anymore, I find I'm dopescrolling a lot less in general, and my Internet usage has sort of become more purposeful (as in, me mostly using it to look up and engage in specific things, rather than let the algorithm/my timeline lead me around). I've also logged off more and done productive shit more often than when I had Twitter. I'm also experiencing way less Discourse(TM), so that's fun.

El*n does it again. And by "it", I mean "make a royal mess out of bird app". This time, he's limiting how many times you can look at ANY tweets, regardless of who made them, unless you pay up. Apparently this is a cover-up for the crumbling website infrastructure that can't handle so many people looking at it at once? If so, that deffo checks out. But regardless of why he made this change, people ain't liking it. Not even his shitty racist fanboys like it, from what I've seen on Tunglr.

As for me, I'm probs going to be abandoning Twitter for a while. Might come back just to deactivate it, might not. I still have a backup of my data from a few months back, so if I get the urge to find some specific thing, I'll just go there and pray that I posted it in that time period. Of course, I have followed some people whose art/etc. I like on Tumblr if I could find them. The one downside is that a lot of the EA artists I follow probably don't have accs on non-Twitter websites other than Pixiv, so I guess I'm gonna have to learn to use that one of these days. Ah, well. Let the hellsite sink. Teach Musky Boy a little lesson in humility.
