Following the Meta Account consolidation announcement, I'm in the process of deleting my IG account, so I've scrubbed all links to it here. You'll probably catch me yapping about it in a blog post sooner or later because I have a whole bunch of different feelings around it.

There's the blog post lmao

Love this blog post. I put on the stargazing track when u mentioned it and it ended perfectly at the end of the post! I definitely do not engage with instagram the same way I did ten years ago, I get alot of cool diy posts and indie shop updates but thats really it! And it gets addicting scrolling thru all those posts so I have to hard limit my app time. my ability to Get Outside is extremely limited unfort, (cont)

but Im working on getting out there more and making offline connections. Sorry to fill up a comment and a half lmao this just really resonated with me. Looking forward to more of ur work as always :3 and do you have any good sources on the meta thing? for some reason I am struggling to find info on it

@friendshapedplant: I'm having trouble finding a proper article, but I got the prompt mentioning I'd be moved to the Meta Account system when I checked the website in a couple days ago. Looked like the one mentioned in this article: https://techweez.com/2026/06/02/meta-unified-account-system-facebook-instagram-threads/

And I absolutely don't mind! I love hearing the music was appreciated, hehe. I used it a lot to find local events and artists, too, but it just kept getting worse at doing that... I think the online connections are still very much important (like these comments!), even if I've been finding lots of fun things offline. It just hasn't been working out on big socmeds anymore.
