@daytonamess Since you asked for encouragement, here is my manifesto for stepping away from Meta/Instagram:
https://fontsinuse.com/uses/63903/fonts-in-use-is-not-active-on-instagram

Plus a couple of the most convincing links in there:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Facebook
and
https://erinkissane.com/meta-in-myanmar-full-series

When I stopped using Instagram it helped to remind myself that every time I felt the urge to return (even/especially as a thoughtless natural reflex), it was the feeling of a toxic corporation’s manipulative engineering working on me exactly as it was designed to.

Fonts In Use is not active on Instagram

We’ve abandoned problematic platforms, embraced ethical alternatives, and survived to talk about it.

@nicksherman thanks so much for this Nick! Every five days or so I want to delete it but ultimately I just can't do it, it just infuriates me that the same tool that is for work also has an infinite well of stupid stuff I get sucked in. I wish a lot of my work didn't came from it
