@caitybegg: ily @snapchat -- let’s move back to socialization for connection vs. socialization for projection! Much easier to do on Snap than on Insta. And posting Instagram stories is not inherent bad, it’s fun! Just be aware how how much you’re posting and how much you’re consuming so it doesn’t affect your mental health. #socialmedia #2016 #communication

Social media was there and accessible but we weren't obsessed! It was a totally different vibe.

“What are you doing right now?” Is such a great reflection of 2016 Snapchat. I miss that.

The fact that the instagram feed literally had an “end”! You couldn’t mindlessly scroll

Aaaalso I think because IG has been around for so long we’ve all collected so many followers ranging from old friends we not friends with anymore to actual strangers who we met once etc that posting in your stories feels like intimidating and too manny people are looking and judging. Maybe if IG did enforce unfollow to ppl who have not engaged with your content in the past 2 years or something then people would post normal life again.

Dare I say private stories also ruined that because now people post on private stories what used to on your public story

No private stories too so everyone was being fun in public and not hiding it for close friends 🥺

That’s a lie cause they already had Instagram models with followers and I remember clearly in 2016 them telling me that I need to get my followers up when living in Hawaii and I was like what the hell is followers
