Instagram suggestions are the worst - I follow one friend who's a local MMA fighter, so the suggestions are non-stop UFC and wrestling memes.Then I guess I know some vegans because today it was all horrifying PETA ad stuff with people shooting animals for fur and dead lambs. WTF.

i tried FaceApp after seeing all my friends do some crazy stuff w it on instagram. it's pretty wild. you have to pay to get a lot of the options, but you can still generate Smiling, Young, Old, Male, Female versions of faces. it's pretty spooky. lol i did the old one and i think it was too realistic looking it was scary lol.
it is pretty remarkable how well the algorithm does its job imo so far everything looks very seamless and it is supremely creepy to see an app photoshop a almost-perfect smile onto your face in 15 seconds. fun app if you like cyber divining.

when i ran the "old" filter on me i thought it was showing me a picture of my dad it had found somewhere on my phone. terrifying.

Instagram Stories rules. like a tv channel run by your friends. the silly filters are awesome and easy to use. and very impressive! it can do motion tracking on any human face (ive not been able to get this to work on my cat, which i hope they are working on rn) including if you are watching tv. i used it on Twin Peaks

I hate instagram stories because everyone that I loved to follow on snapchat switched over and uses instagram now. Mixed in with all the other people I follow on instagram who I have no desire to see their stories.

why can't you mute people on instagram already?

i guess they are forcing a choiceyou either have to follow someone or not
at least it makes unfollowing less fraught because it happens more often

yeah i am a lot pickier about who i will follow back because i don't want to be bombardedi have unfollowed people because i can't deal with their volume of posts
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Monday, 23 April 2018 19:57 (six years ago) link
Crazy thing is you can post multiple photos under one post! But noooooooo.....

lol at posts back in 2011 astounded that instagram was worth a billion dollars. that might have been the bargain of the century.

The instagram stories feature is one of the loneliest corners of the internet to me, a handful of people I follow just posting the same tired shit day in day out
― badg, Monday, 23 April 2018 20:55 (six years ago) link
i don't pay attention to storiesif someone wants to tell me something important, it will have to be more direct. i also don't like that it shows you who saw it. i have never posted one.
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Monday, 23 April 2018 22:17 (six years ago) link
i feel like "normal" insta posts have become more polished over time, like flickr. stories now are more like regular posts used to be. they feel more suited to ephemeral stuff because they disappear after 24 hrs. it's like the "behind the scenes" version of your insta lyfe.
(also it shows up right at the top of people's feeds so they stand a better chance of seeing it)
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Monday, 23 April 2018 23:18 (six years ago) link
i understand how they might work for some people. i don't like the way instagram incentivizes stories with the ability to see who has seen them. that makes them less appealing to me. the whole hierarchy of posts and what they mean is so tiresome. i just want people to remember i exist. that's about it.
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Monday, 23 April 2018 23:26 (six years ago) link
now that i think about it, it bugs me that stories don't have likes. or maybe that's good, and regular posts shouldn't have likes either. i don't know. but they work totally differently, which is like.... why? you can comment on stories (i think?) but nobody ever does because it's not obvious how to do it.
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Monday, 23 April 2018 23:30 (six years ago) link
why does it bug you that you can see who's seen your stories LL? you don't want to know?
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Monday, 23 April 2018 23:31 (six years ago) link
i love stories. its like a tv channel run by friends & acquaintances and the UI is so easy to use, skipping to the next is a single tap. oh look, it's the bar i used to play, or wow my friend is at a temple Japan, or checking out highlights from last night's big concert.
― Hazy Maze Cave (Adam Bruneau), Monday, 23 April 2018 23:38 (six years ago) link
i can see how it would work for other people, just not for me.
why does it bug you that you can see who's seen your stories LL? you don't want to know?i haven't posted any, but no i generally don't want to know who has seen something. if someone likes something, that is nice but if someone has seen something...idk what that is supposed to say to me. it's one of the reasons i have never posted one. i want fewer quantification options in general, not more.
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Monday, 23 April 2018 23:45 (six years ago) link
(also why i value ilx -- no quantification aside from the # of times i have posted, which is up to me)
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Monday, 23 April 2018 23:46 (six years ago) link
lol it says they've seen it, is what it is supposed to say! :) but i totally understand the kickback against the weird competitiveness and statscock measuring that social media can engender
