Mystified by Twitter. I really did try. Is Instagram easier, or should a 56yo stick with vellum and quill?
Well, do you like looking at photos? If so, try it. You can create a private account so you can view and not be viewed. My personal view is don’t link it to any FB account nor Contacts, just use it for either posting images or viewing or both or just viewing.
Rarely do you see tits and such because Insta takes a dim view of the image and poster, and will either obliterate the image or take down the image. You can report posts and if you share your account and get some random “hi, sexy xxxx seeks fit males” requests you just report them and they’re taken down really really quickly.
So, it’s a safe image hosting/posting site viewable by anyone.
Obviously it’s a bit of a selfie vacuum, but not terribly so. Some folks just like taking photos of locations and interesting stuff, or drawings or flower arrangements, or feet, or Michelangelo’s Davids bottom, or trees or sunsets/sunrises… whatever.
When it first came out I steered well clear, thought it would be full of teenage girls in low cut blouses pouting (sadly that still exists) but it’s matured well, it is a nice platform for an insight to other people’s interests.
Easily installed on smartphones, easily deleted too, easy to set up and you are limited in what you view by your own imagination.
