i think during it's peak years ago insta was more fun. Now it's become like a bootleg version of facebook and tiktok. Also im not going to get into the discussion of the very questionable content that instagram keeps showing in their explore feed… Out of all the popular platforms i think insta has the biggest issue when it comes to illegal content, there so much fucked up shit there that ends up escaping the filters and the moderators are non-existant or very slow.
Like there was a account that posted a video of a indian woman getting raped….and that account went viral and thousands of people kept reporting that account and it took the fucking insta moderators a WEEK until they took that account down.

Are there a lot of halal restaurants in your area? It could explain it. I know it looks like a reach but I've had crazier coincidences on my explore page and recommended accounts back when I still used instagram. Nothing I liked or posted indicated I was from my ethnicity or exmuslim, but the app often recommended me only people from my own ethnicity or muslims, including family members I didn't even know had an instagram account and whose phone number I never had on my phone.

Speaking of the explore page, one of the things that annoyed me was how the posts always seemed related to my interests, but when instagram started competing with tiktok it kept showing me reels and reposted tiktok videos that were completely unrelated to what I wanted to see like people badly dancing to shitty rap songs or skincare hauls, no matter how often I tapped on "not interested". And as soon as summer started my explore page was full of photos and videos of young women in bikinis that were obviously too small and the camera was always focusing on their breasts or ass. It always stopped as soon as summer stopped and everyone went back to work or school. I have no idea if it's because I also posted my own vacations pictures (but no selfies, tags or captions though, just places and food) or because of people I followed were liking similar weird posts.

I've deleted everything else, but Instagram is the one social media I'm having a hard time getting rid of.

When I newly made my account (so zero activity yet) my explore page was already almost fully muslim content.

I HATE REELS! Especially when artists I follow make them I know they want to grow a following and it's sucks they have to do this way but I HATE IT. I prefer the old Instagram where it was just posting pictures and hashtags system works it's how i found other small artists and supported their works, now the hashtag system on Instagram barely works it's useless before the hashtags of the artists who tagged in it their works would show up in my feed now it's even rare. Once in a blue moon i would see the hashtags pop-up in my feed. I HATE what Instagram has become I want to leave this platform behind but to bad that most of the local artists I follow post there.

Anon it's been pissing me tf off too. I get the no tattoos thing, because they're expensive and not everyone has a good artist nearby. But I don't understand wanting to live, breathe, and be the alternative scene without putting in any effort. The entire point alternative fashion is to challenge social norms and brave criticisms. These insecure kids have blocked every single criticism that hasn't ever came their way and they can't handle self reflection imo, which is why they're too scared to look the part.

This mentality is pretty much everywhere now, all of these retards want to be part of subcultures without actually doing the things that are characteristic of them. They just want somewhere to belong to and will call you an evil gatekeeper if you don't want retards who aren't even like you in any way coming into it. It's just an extension of mentalities like you don't need to actually be gay to belong in the lgbt community and also very similar to how they'll try to take over fandoms without even consuming the source material for them. "Just be kind and everyone is valid no matter what!" type of mentalities are cancerous and very prevalent these days unfortunately. I would never call myself alt because I don't dress or have a lifestyle like that and anyone else who doesn't shouldn't either.

tbh i don't like that every subculture gets rolled up into alt as a designation. punk and goth and lolita and whatever else might share some overlap in a venn diagram, but rolling them all into alt does give the aliexpress vibes. op's picrel sounds like she's talking about goth, she could just say goth because all of her points are actually nbd if you're talking about like classic/country lolita

>>2409510
That's what I was thinking. Plenty of lolitas don't do super crazy hair, makeup, or have tattoos. I can think of other styles that wouldn't necessarily need them, either. The lumping of all alternative fashion under one big umbrella is really dumb I think, it's kind of treating these subcultures as interchangeable skins with the same kinds of inspiration and attitudes, which does give it a kind of aliexpress, fast-fashion sheen.

No. 2409550

>>2409536
It's also a great way to take anything that isn't aesthetic out of the subculture. If alt just becomes a synonym for weird fashion, you lose out on the very things that made the subcultures: Goth's music and club scene, punk's DIY drive and institutional distrust, lolita's street fashion sensibilities. I remember when people used to clown on lifestyle lolitas for being out of touch, but they were a lot closer to the goths who would dress up together with their friends to go to the local club or to the Bauhaus concert compared to most of the "alternative girlies" of today.

They want to dress in big shein sweaters and mini skirts and be considered alt, shoving their way into a community. It's crazy because I used to be heavy into vk/jrock 15 years ago and dressed up, got bullied or made fun of.

Tbh I didn't really deal with any bullying for being goth/alt. One time a car with two guys called me a "freak" and then his passenger smacked him in the head and said I looked cute. There was also a similar situation with a jock but I made fun of him too so it became like a running joke. This was the 00s in a small city. The alt/goth kids who were made fun were all considered "dirty". Small towns or religious areas would probably be bad no matter what though, my friend's grandma was born-again and seemed to have the biggest issue. She was still nice though. Mostly people just asked questions about me being "a goth". I did feel really annoyed when people phrased it that way for some reason but most people said positive things

this app's algorithm is so fucked. My reels feed is 99% fashion, pets, travel etc. But as an experiment I had my brother scroll on my account for ~30 min and the way the suggested videos changed so quickly was a bit weird. He watched some car and video game reels I'd normally skip, then got more car videos, dancing bikini women, and eventually redpill podcast clips kek. It's like the app starts feeding that stuff to you as soon as it realizes a moid is watching. At one point when I was watching elden ring clips it started suggesting "woman fail" and tranny videos no matter how much I clicked not interested

I kind of understand and agree with this, in the sense that it's not really about how you dress but more so about how you participate in your local scene - which I think is something this woman failed to mention making her argument extremely superficial. I've been into punk and everything mildly related since before I was a teen and I've been a part of the scene in my small eastern euro country since then. Outwardly you can't really tell, I do have a lot of tattoos and a face piercing but my dressing style is semi normie and always has been, I don't wear makeup and my hair has never been dyed. At most I'd wear converse, vans and band tees and most women around me did that too. I'd say a minority of women and men went above and beyond to style themselves but we all attend our local shows, events etc. Only once I visited richer countries with bigger scenes did I start seeing people with extremely alternative styles on a regular basis kek

I started getting religious content when I was for a month in Indonesia. Before that, I'd never get it, after I moved back home, again nothing. It might be what the country is trying to push or just what content is popular in your area.
