Instagram app no longer lets you post stories without allowing camera and mic access on ios

There is no reason to require this setting for users who aren’t posting live videos.

I really like pixelfed, but it replaces what instagram was a decade ago, not what instagram is now.

Pixelfed is amazing for sharing photography type photos.

Instagram is now a photo sharing, video sharing, tiktok doomscrolling, messaging service, noticeboard in one.

I used to love Instagram 5-10 years ago. I despise today’s Instagram.

I left it about two years ago. The tiktok style short videos are way too fucking addictive and bring near zero value to my day.

As an amateur photographer, I'm still hoping for a Flickr resurgence. Instagram is so restrictive.
