How has Instagram largely avoided being associated with Facebook/Meta?

I'd guess the simple answer may be that people don't care/know, but for those that have ditched Facebook for whatever reason, yet still use Instagram, it's a little surprising.

Is it partly a result of it being a more focused/limited form of social media that filters out some of the stuff people didn't like from Facebook?

It's a network level ad-blocker by blocking at the DNS level.

It was originally meant to run on a raspberry pi, but will run in docker or other Linux os as well. Very light weight and a great self-host project. Been running for years and support via patreon.

Awesome! Didn't even know of its existence until now. Thanks for the heads up!

I’ll add that you can buy a $30 used “thin client” pc via eBay and set up Ubuntu server (or your choice of Linux distro) then set up pi-hole on it. Cheap project, lots of value
