Like the question implies, I really want too get off of instagram. Its not the same space anymore, especially with the consistent push from Meta to use AI. Ive even made my profile private so those features don’t automatically turn on. Its gotten crazy there.
Not the standard answer, but here’s another opinion: I think Signal is a good alternative.
Depends on how you use Instagram. If you’re just sharing with closed groups of friends and family then just make some groups in Signal and share pictures with each other there.
If you want to post to everyone or look at everyone else’s posts then this obviously isnt going to work. But if you’re use case is as I describe above then just try using your private chat app.
Can someone easily merge from Google Messages to Signal? I’ve heard of signal and im also looking for another message alternative; more so for that and insta. Pixelfed is really catching my eye for insta.
