Posted my last Instagram post yesterday. I’m deleting my Instagram account on Monday. After a period of time where I was scared it might cost me some freelance work, I finally made the decision. I don’t agree with the system, the company behind it. I don’t want to contribute to it anymore. I don’t want to post my work on it anymore. I’m done. Grateful to all the people that followed my work on it, sometimes even bought something in my shop. But it's time to move on.
@margodeweerdt I quit but kept the content up. I use it as a weird proprietary memory capsule. :D
But yeah, great move. I think it's kind of what walled services want us to believe, they're playing on fear of missing out, with LinkedIn being the biggest offender.
@margodeweerdt absolutely. My account was purely personal, but I should download my pictures and kiss it goodbye. I think I'll try to find time by the end of the year. :bow:
@jonn Thank you. 🙂 I also considered that, but in the end I’m going to delete it. I didn’t want my work still ‘living’ on it. And indeed, they love to let us believe that it is “essential”… I must say, it is a great feeling knocking down that wall. 😃
