For example:

The Verge: @[email protected] Mental Floss: @[email protected]

There are only 27 accounts federated at this time so not everything is available via Fediverse.

I mean yeah, at this point people are here on Fediverse out of principle, not content. It’s like complaining why there are no scrappy reality dating shows on PBS, it’s missing the point.

My personal observation is that people have been fed up for quite a while, not so much by the Instagram app itself but by Meta’s brand, their untrustworthiness and the general vapid and scammy nature of the hordes of Influencers and “hustlers”. It’s just regular folks aren’t aware of decent alternatives or the alternatives aren’t quite there yet.

Just use Instagram? You can’t engage with Fediverse clone accounts.

Effing eh
