@verge The author wants to use Instagram without using Meta… ooookay? Why is anyone still surprised that Meta is awful? It’s been over a decade of this. It’s like picking up mouldy bread every day, staring at the green fuzz, eating it anyway, and then acting shocked it’s mouldy.

Reminder: Meta’s guidelines don’t allow its users to call people “mentally ill” as an insult - unless they’re LGBT+. Every other usage is banned.
