So I got the message from instagram about either paying or using it free (at the cost personalised ads) just now.

1000010454

Doesn’t this go against the GDPR? Either way, is there a FOSS alternative for instagram like piped is to youtube? It seems like a good opportunity to stop using the official app, even though it would be better to not use instagram at all (sadly not an option for me right now).

Any suggestions, and if so, are there any that provide functionality for: stories, posts, dms? Those are the 3 things I use instagram for.

Many thanks!

Edit: For messaging I do use beeper, though some media like carousels and posts sent to my dms cant be shown in there, so for those cases I open the official app.

    It’s so interesting because realistically we’re a hybrid of both but damn did they both have a good whack at hitting the nail on the head.

    Either way it’s a sad reflection of the world we now live in, all self anesthesized and false truths.
