How to download your Instagram information

I deleted FB in 2011. I have never had Instagram or other social media account.

To quote the article: “hotbed for misinformation and polarizing speech”. That’s about right. 😁
I would really love to leave FB, but there are a few projects out there (I want to stay in touch with) that use FB as their main platform for communication and content providing.

I signed up for insta to promote things, but every second i spend on there, in the feed feels like brain cells are dying.

I don’t have to. I never had any of them. Fortunately my wife is keeping contact with most important people on facebook, so I don’t have to :D
Currenlty amount of AI generated s_it on social media is so overhelming, that I see that even most engaged users are loosing their interest.

This is one of the reasons they kicked out TikTok. You wont be left with many choices. I would still wish everyone woul delete all META apps over night. Bring the stock to 0!!
