Instagram is rolling out this new 'Instants' feature and honestly, it’s giving me major anxiety. Imagine snapping a photo and it immediately blasts out to all your mutuals or close friends without a single chance to edit, filter, or even double-check if your eyes are actually open. It’s basically trying to be BeReal but built directly into the app we already use for everything else.
I get that the platform is trying to chase 'authenticity' again, but do we really need more pressure to be constantly 'on' and unfiltered? Some things are better left in the drafts or at least given a quick once-over before your entire inner circle sees them. It feels like just another way to keep us glued to our screens, waiting for the next notification pop-up.
Whatever happened to just posting when we actually have something meaningful to share instead of every mundane second? #technology #culture #lifestyle https://thoxt.com/l/kRqvgA 🔗
