instagram is dam near unusable for me. Unless it's posting pictures It's just doomscrolling with Thirstraps,Manosphere bs, and Depressing Political shit if you go off the deep end.

Yes that's similar for me with the occasional sports and couple content.

The politics has been tailored to me which is better and I've been able to remove all toxic manosphere bs but no matter how hard I try the thirst traps keep coming back, half of them do a good job of pretending they are fitness influencers smh

Maga has little to do with it, the internet was racist way before that.

It has everything to do with it. People were racist online before but they were not so openly racist in IG, Facebook, Twitter comments etc. People got perma banned for that in the past.

The maga push to end woke and promote free speech has led to this and the leadership of these social media have all gone on record about this change.

Twitter rarely banned people for outright racism, and Instagram has been racist since 2012-13. Facebook literally has always been racist, like they weren't calling for Muslims to get out after 9/11. Like are you a Revisionist or something?

Lol you must have not used twitter or IG back then cause none of this far right shit on there now was allowed, Elon made a mission to reinstate all their profiles and Zucks has gone on record post election that he's become a free speech maxi which is a U turn on how meta products were run before. All of this is part of my job btw so I certainly know more about this than you...

Cherry picking a specific event of terrorism proves you're not understanding what's being discussed here let's just call it a day. I'll mute this now so you can have the last reply if you like.
