Trying to branch off...
I went into instagram with different goal...now trying to do something different but I got some family & friends that follow and check there for personal updates...don't want to alienate them...but want to be able to do a lil more stuff that I don't have to worry about explaining to certain folks... not no "creepin" shit, so not to get it twisted...

Anyway...what approach do you use outside of having a private account? I don't like the idea of those...

post up you grams too so that I can follow you....

Dude jumped on the scene I think in late 2017 and is like killing it. Yeah, he's WILL SMITH, but with the right gimmick or lane, you can still pop just as much.

"I cannot see how nature could have created itself. Only a supernatural force that is outside of space and time could have done that. ~ Francis Collins

just follow folks that I find interesting. mostly folks that are not fam/friends.

I use it more so for business research...

I’m private because I don’t want my son following me - Can’t have our world’s colliding lol

I’ll inbox you my info

lol. I'm @hoodlogic.

photos that aren't family oriented...and at the same time get some inspiration and exposure to what other folks are taking pics of.


"Get ready....for your blessing....."

You can store 1Tb of pics for free and you don't have to publicly share everything, you can choose. You get the benefits of sharing real photography, and looking at serious photographers (pro and amateur), but without the distractions of Instagram.

I think I'm

@feltdeez

I'm about to make a new one strictly for business and see how it goes

family stuff mixed in with my attempt at "Artsy" shit....


"Get ready....for your blessing....."

what's the issue?

though....
after 5 days I had like 30 follows from Muslim speaking countries for some reason lol... I was getting kinda shook... Then I realized that my government name (which is Arabic) was in my profile, along with the account being linked to my msn mail account that's been chock full of spam for years.... So I blocked all of those folks and switched to a different email account... Hopefully that takes care of that.



"Get ready....for your blessing....."

Mainly, I post up about my work, hobbies and interests. Most of the older generation (parents, aunts, uncles, etc.) aren't on social media, so they'd never see the photos there. I just email them a pic or two every now and again.

or just updates?

"Get ready....for your blessing....."

I post up nerdy stuff, so almost all of the comments I get are from fellow nerds. Never had a problem with another user before.

my daughter has an alias. LOL

I was like 'OOOOOHHH...I see..you put all ya little 'middle finger' pics on your ALIAS page? Okay, dummy.'

@amadu_me <--It might be in my sig. I haven't been posting. I'm tryna get popping myself.

all kinds of debauchery....meanwhile not realizing that everyone that they follow and that follows them can see ALLLLL them likes and thus have our Search section populated with the same stuff on some "Amadu_me likes this photo of this phat ass....we thought maybe you would too."


"Get ready....for your blessing....."

my boy was like 'Man! you be onnnn them jawns!!!'

well, they're both creative, but the other one is just street photo only

The other for promo and whatnot

I guess one personal and the other for work
just like FB, I only follow people I know IRL on the personal
the work one for artists, network/poly, and a couple thotties

@thecipherbook_miami

yanno, I think the whole facebook model is dead.

there can never be another facebook or instagram because its a format thats been defined, consumed and normalized.

its going to be a stagnant space until new technology enters the picture - which just means a new way to tell stories

I give facebook and instagram 5 years before they completely shift directions and its already been happening for a good 8 years now on their side.

i feel like they've fucked their algorithms to the point where now i'm just being force fed the same shit over and over. It makes it less interesting to me and also harder for new people to pop off without some outside assistance.

WTF?

I said no

I picked that one.

Then scrolled thru my feed of the same 20 people complaining about lazy students and Trump and a few funny Black Panther jokes

I hate it, wish it would die

Most of all I hate what it does to people:

"Why you didn't like my post?"
"Why you didn't comment on my bum ass video?"
"Oh, you didn't like my vacay pics, we got beef now, it's on!"
*random unsolicited friend request from someone you met once in passing*
*random inbox from that ex you've been trying to forget*
all that fake news bullshit Zuckerberg allows on it

FOH with all that shit

You know how you need a CC to rent a car?
Like if you don't have one the company makes you jump through hoops?

I fear it's gonna be that way with FB
you're gonna need an account to do all kinds of shit
apply for jobs, buy a house, rent an apt, all that shit
FOH

die, motherfucka, die! (c)

personal identification verification first, ad platform first and second and then social media platform last

It’s on until you go in settings and remove it. Basically any image on the web is scanned so they can link it to your FB.

I been job hunting and totally forgot to turn off my FB

One thing the secretary here used to do is go straight to FB when someone would apply for a job.

facebook won

like they did with foursquare, vine, snapchat, periscope, etc.

people forget how much fb copied from twitter because its so culturally embedded in their identity now. but they skimasked the timeline/newsfeed, subscribe/follow, verified pages, etc.

all of these moves from fb have stunted user growth on the other platforms. they can survive a good while by just stealing shit.

profile bc his account is poppin with the IG models lol.
dude is a stem advocate and mentor and it also trying to secure some Federal contracts, but 50% of his follows are IG models LOL.

I don't even feel comfortable making any posts after not posting for so long.

Today, I told my wife I was planning on setting up a gofundme for our daughter (raising money for this summer dance intensive program in Harlem). My wife said 'you are never on social media so its gonna seem sus that you come on asking for money'

It's owned by the same kat who owns Facebook, Mark Z., it's cool if you're into doing quick video posts and pics, but other than that instagram is pretty much the same as facebook.

I try to stay away from adding old family but I got quite a few fam I follow on FB but with IG most of them don't use it, so even when I cross post social media they only like & creep on fb instead which I know anyways.

I too been waiting for the next big social media place, remember when friendster was it, then myspace came along, then facebook was it, I don't really do anything on Google's thingie, seems lame, but I did go to tumblr back in 2010, still on it but what I post there is on some other shit and I keep it separate from what I post on fb & IG.

As opposed to FB and Twitter

Except that time I hit like on too many white girls with guns pics and my explore feed got saturated with maga shit lol

just unfollow people on FB

..granted, I'm a late gram ninja but dat shit be crackin 'n real-time.

I primarily use it for networking my brand but there is NUFF entertainment to be had on the gram. Also great for art/visual heads who tyrna feed people creative-content in real-time.

In 2k18, I'm prolly on the gram more that Twitter/FB.

i gets down with the gram. it be funny,informative and good conversation.

my only iss with social media is the corperate take over and merging
