I deleted Instagram a few years ago. Unfortunately too many restaurants and friends want to connect there so I recently re-installed.

I was lucky to never get addicted but, not making excuses, the moment I open the app, I click the logo at the top and pick "Following" and then I see only my friends. Of course it's not sticky (roll-eyes) but at least there's a way to mostly avoid the algo

I definitely miss some aspects of instagram. It was the reels that killed me. Not worth the mental cost. But I have no idea what my friends from college are up to these days because I don’t have that background knowledge informed from the 1% of posts in my feed that were actually personally relevant.

Overall I definitely feel mentally healthier without that app though.

What do restaurants have to do with instagram?
