On New Year’s Eve in 2021, Taylor Bracher’s friend bailed on their skiing trip because she said her dog was sick. Later that evening, Bracher’s friend posted a slew of Instagram Stories of her skiing with other people all day long. So Bracher deleted the Instagram app from her phone.”I didn’t know if it would be forever, but I knew I was sick of the negative emotions the platform was facilitating: FOMO, consumerism, empty connection, all of it,” Bracher told Mashable.

In an instant it wasn’t my problem anymore,” Bracher said.

There’s been a seemingly perpetual, although futile, effort to replace the app with another platform that we might, for some unbelievable reason, enjoy more — apps like BeReal, Glass, Grainery, and even Tumblr and LinkedIn. And for good
