    FB is dead - Instagram is where it's at. Every time I log onto FB these days it's just full of people getting upset at what's in the news. Insta is very rose tinted I'll agree but I'll take that over incessant complaining any day.
    I've never used it, isn't it just full of softcore porn, validation seekers and people heavily photoshopping their lives to look relevant?

      If those are the accounts you follow then, yes, that's what you'll see.
      If you don't have anything nice to say, say it sarcastically

        Well, what else does it offer? I thought it was a place to share photographs. Unless you enjoy photographs I am not sure why it's better than just using Facebook? Can you explain?

          There is a lot of that yes, it's primarily photos and videos with some text. What you see will depend on who you follow and what hashtags etc.

          It's more a case of what less does it offer, it's like facebook lite with a much more positive environment. That does go into the rose tinted/photoshopped category yes but it also cuts out all the news articles and petitions etc.

          My main interest is music so I follow a lot of musicians and labels and DJs etc. I also go to a lot of music related networking events and when swapping details with other artists/producers/industry people etc Instagram is the standard.

          I like seeing people I've met post selfies from the stage in front of a big crowd and post their latest videos for their new single. It motivates me to go and practice my scales/arpeggios and get that track finished. facebook just doesn't do that for me anymore...

            Well I follow friends and family & their accounts do just tend to be photos about what they're up to etc. But I also follow some fitness accounts who post video tutorials, tips and information about how to progress your training, what to eat, etc. Likewise I follow some accounts with interior design content for inspiration, some local restaurants and businesses, brand accounts, and also some funny meme accounts. Depends what you're into but I find the type of content is completely different to Facebook and more suited to what I find interesting.

              I'll have to give it a try

              I am not sure why anyone would want to follow me though, I don't think I would ever post anything, I only post the odd thing to facebook for my parents benefit and use messenger and facebook events to coordinate with friends

                Try some hashtags for what interests you

                  Caroline Flack press petition delivered to government - BBC News

                  There are existing laws to stop press intrusion. Or are we going to limit press power now for every snowflake?
