I kinda regret being defederated from Lemmy tankies, I’m curious how are they going to defend this.

Fair enough. As for leaving Instagram, I can assure you I would love to. But I unfortunately, I have to choose between privacy and social life. And will rather be spied on than miss out camping with my classmates just because I wasn’t in the Insta chat group where they discussed it. And you might have guessed from me being a Lemmy user that I’m not the popular guy, so nobody will stop using Instagram because of me or text me everything they plan on there on Signal. Also if you think using TikTok is somehow fucking up Meta, I can tell you that you’re the only one getting fucked.

I don’t think any of these are good. I currently have to use instagram, because all my friends use it for chats and chat groups etc. I don’t use instagram for reels, so TikTok is not an alternative for me. And from what I have read about the TikTok app, it spies on you even more than instagram. Also the modded instgram versions usually have an option to block some of Meta’s analytics, and that’s one of the reasons I want to use them.

Probably any adblocking VPN does. I use Rethink on Android, it acts as a vpn but is local so more of a firewall, I’m sure something like that exists for iOS too.

There was an option to split the download into archives of customizable size IIRC

It could delete all the photos from it’s servers next day

I don’t care about those dumb reels so tiktok is not an instagram alternative for me anyways. Also I would never install that thing on my device. There aren’t many apps worse than Instagram for privacy, but TikTok is definitely one of them.

That’s really weird. I included the link just in case we were talking about different mods both named MyInsta. For me, MyInsta is a normal mod of Instgram’s android app, very similar to Instander or Aeroinsta (and probably others, I haven’t tried them)

MyInsta is not just the website. It’s a mod just like the others. https://myinsta.app The developer claims to not obfuscate his additional code, which seems nice, but I didn’t check that.

You might like HeliBoard licensed under GPLv3. I’ve been using it for several months and I really like it. Sadly, for swipe-typing you need to load proprietary library.

Isn’t upgrade from win 7 to win 10 free?
