My biggest issue with Instagram lately is their application of community guidelines. They seem very inconsistent and biased- strictly following the guidelines with some content but not other similar content, especially when it comes to “political” content... this can greatly affect what content you are allowed to see, comment on, post and share. The “fact check” feature also seems to be bias on particular things.Reporting content and comments that are not appropriate, especially things regarding bullying and discrimination, or fake/scam accounts pretending to be other people, seems to do very little most of the time, and nothing is usually done about the post/comment you report- only suggesting you block the person you he reported, which doesn’t always fix the issue. The process for reporting things like people stealing your content (copyright infringement) and/or invading your privacy, while generally more effective and successful than the conventional way of reporting things, is also much more difficult- it’s hard to find where and how to send reports directly this way, and is more time consuming. The live streams always seem to be glitchy and troublesome, both for the host of the lives and the viewers. Editing reels and stories can also be a pain, with additional features not always loading, things being out of time after uploading, sound playing but the video being frozen, or the app crashing all together and randomly shutting down.
