Zegnat [tantek]: what do you block accounts on IG for? I do not think I have ever blocked any there (though I barely use Instagram, other than to exchange DMs)

[tantek] Zegnat, every single ad. It helps A LOT
#
Zegnat Ah, gotcha. The few times I leave the DM view and see ads, they have almost always been correctly targeted. That is, I mostly see ads for events and restaurants in my area, and I do not mind those :) They are basically my discovery feed for the city.

[tantek] You’re lucky then! I get all the generic junk and it seems to rotate thru whatever is trending

aaronpk Mine is pretty curated too, lots of ads for cat toys because Lily sends me links to funny cat IG reels all the time 😅
