Instagram Is Over

I hope not. I use it as a way to save my moments with my family, in the expectation that It will survive some good years, and therefore my kids can then watch the pics, videos, comments and get a better picture (pun intended) of the context of the photos. Much better than have it in a disk (if its survive) or printed.

This situation is increasingly a concern for me too, and I think replication and shared data ownership is the solution.

Like everyone you care about having a copy of your data, and the copy always being up to date, perhaps encrypted so only those family you want to consume the content have access to those pictures too via user control.

Anyhow it's sad that Facebook has so much of my family's lives hostage... Only there can I see what's up.

I wish I could see a 'family' feed.

If you don't care at all about poluar figures and just want to share content with people you actually know, https://movim.eu would be a much better alternative.

I'm not the social media kind of people, but I have some friends and family members, that my last words were through facebook. So as a communication tool, I see its value. Said that, I don't have the app installed anywhere. Just messages notifications via email.

Biggest predictor in my sample of friends for Facebook use is whether that person is married and has their own family. Biggest predictor for Instagram use is if that person has young kids.

Married with children. Still a reasonably large cohort of US adults, no matter if on a downward trend.

Instagram has functionality to download all of your content, including archived stories.
