I believe Cuckerberg doesn’t understand what “return to our roots” means. If they genuinely wanted to return to their roots, they’d get rid of all advertising, politics, and CSM on their platforms; like it was when they were first starting out.
I recently began using Pixelfed. It is actually Instagram if it returned to it's roots. I was an early user of Instagram and I remember what it was like before Facebook bought it.
No ads, no cynical political disinfo, no "stories" and "reels", no sponsored posts, no content manipulation algorithm, no bullshit. Pixelfed is Instagram if it was completely gutted and returned to how it used to be. A million times better.
Sadly the small userbase is it's only drawback. But you can learn to live with that.
I’m doing the same with Loops. It’ll grow as the user base grows.
