I had someone stop talking to me because I don't have an Instagram. Kind of weird if you ask me.

I’ve been told I must be a serial killer multiple times because I don’t have instagram.

I have killed several people but it’s not because I don’t have instagram.

Oh dang, I've been using it for the wrong reasons

Same. Whatsapp. The market has become so fragmented that it's all about social clout and what you can compel others to install just to talk to your sorry ass.

I actually use WA a lot. Most of my family doesn't live in the same country I do and I have quite a few friends in different countries. Texting is not an option for us.

But Instagram, as far as I know, is just a platform to post pictures. I don't care about my own pictures or pictures of others.

Good riddance if you ask me. Imagine what else comes with that sort of real estate

Sounds like an efficient way for that person to self-filter outta your life.
