It’s clear to me that this isn’t good for me. My interaction with the outside world and being in the present is inversely proportional to how much I use IG/smartphone.

IG is obv the strongest drug, but in general want to be more conscious about what I do on my phone, when Inuse it.

Looking for genuine advice. Please help 🙏🏻

People who reduced IG/Smartphone usage, how did you do it?

Simple Shirley, Uninstall 
  
 If required, login from web only 
  
 I've set timers for 19 apps in my phone by digital wellbeing 🤷 
 It'll help in long run

- Instagram head, Adam Mosseri, attributes recent moderation issues to human error, not AI. 
- Issues included users losing access to accounts, disappearing posts, and more. 
- Mosseri stated that content reviewers were making decisions without sufficient context. 
- Some users found their accounts erroneously labeled as underage and subsequently disabled. 
- Instagram is still investigating the issues and working on providing a safer experience.

Instagram's Moderation Issues Attributed to Human Error

Journalist

This is worse addiction than smoking, drinking. 

Haven't watched any short/reels for 5 days straight feeling like a void inside. 

But its better, Watching reels/shorts would give a feeling of satisfaction because of the dopamine release.
So seeking other experiences for that dopamine hit. Life is getting better.

Reels, Shorts Addiction

Exactly the reason I deactivated Instagram. It's been a year now. Don't even feel the need to ever go back.

Customer Success

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I use Instagram to see what my friends are doing but most of the time I go to the discover section and keep watching reels for hours.

I just want to see what my friends are doing and share some of my life moments with them - not endless reels and ads. 

Do you guys also face the same problem? Is there any private social media where I can just get connected with my friends only? 

Do you guys also face the problem?

Damn ig is so addictive.

Given I'm a male my search feed is literally 👁️🫦👁️. 

My reel feed is full of dark pedophile seixst homophobic adult content. Someone please tell me it's normal. 😭

Although I've tried to change my feed algorithm by engaging with random anime, cat, and other pet posts/reels, I still come across at least 1 or 2 posts where shawties dancing provocatively by shaking their t•tties/cakes when I scroll down.

I even came across a username brokencondomsurvivor wtf 🤣

Just curious if that's the case with others too!

My fingers muscle memory got so used to that reel scrolling, i literally unlock my phone and open some random apps for no reason. It literally took me weeks to control my finger movements  over my phone. 


( •_•)      Since I'm on mission ive
 ( ง )ง     uninstalled ig months ago.
 /︶\     Using gv for insights btw.

Few of my friends are doomed because of social media honestly they are jobless rn, their academics & soft skills are literally worst, tried to help them in preparing for interviews and technical stuff but not working out. The process even dragged me down at some point. So i decided to help them financially and these aimless idiots were wasting my money on girls, restaurants and cafes just for status and stories on social media. Got angry several times but dost h na jhel rha hun in a hope of thik h kabhi na kabhi toh  sudhar jayenge(being too optimistic? 🙃)

I'm a bit worried about them as it might arise some conflicts in social respect and status.

My parents scolded & grounded me for 1000 times becoz of them. Honestly i think no parent wants their kids to be around an inept and no good person.

In my childhood i hated it but as I grew older I understood why.

The very thought of my friends being rendered useless in their life is daunting me.

I really do want my friends to succeed more than me but as days pass by i feel like there's no scope for that.

I know it's a lengthy post but what should i do?

All videos of existential crisis, death, red flags, how Shahrukh apparently dated Priyanka, funny and sensitive men, 
and also why did we poke people on Facebook 10 years ago 🤦‍♀️
