Another product of this little experiment that I didn't expect is that it broke my constant need to feel connected to Instagram - once I wasn't getting that rush of content and scrolling - the hits didn't hit the same and I was able to just walk away. That part was wild!
So after about ten days of my gradual muting, my feed is actually not as many friends (because my friends don't post as much as they used to!) and more politics and art stuff, which is okay, but I am spending less time scrolling because I care less to be on it! I guess I made an improvement?
This is so timely. I was just trying to figure out how to thin the herd so to speak myself. I can align with your categories. I need to check out the mute! Thank you!
Thanks for not telling on me! :)

Why would I tell on you, hmmm? 😂
I feel like I see mostly ads and suggested accounts and yet instagram is my weakness. I spend way too much time scrolling.
I’m assuming you know how to turn off suggested accounts? (You have to do it every 30 days)
I do. Still feels like nothing I want and no one I know. And yet…scroll, scroll, scroll.

Seems like it! I set app limits yesterday. Maybe that will help, along with some curation. 🤞
Love how you “sort” through them. It sounds like a lovely way to stop feeling pressure (self-imposed as it may be). 🥰
It mainly saves me time, and I love that!

Yay! Good luck!
