This looks like an incredible example of how a product can be re-skinned and stripped down to focus on one alternative core element.

I'm on Twitter since 2010, I've been a very passive user until very recently (mostly using it as an RSS feed) and now be more active since a few months. Curious to see if a real competitor can enter the market.

interesting that both did not fit into a single app... ;)

Just reading the level of data they need to make this app to been able to work is very concerning. But it’s Facebook 🙃 they don’t know how to do things responsibly. Can’t wait to see what horrors against humanity they pull this time. So far, Mastodon has fast and beautiful third party apps, no ads, no algorithm and no influencers. That’s pretty nice actually. But I guess this is nice is you already are on Instagram. It will make it easy to switch to Fediverse alternatives in the future.

@chrismessina I wrote a blog about it as I was covering the leaks from the starting of the app. I would love to have your review on my coverage: https://jaskaransaini.com/instag...

@jaskaransainiz1 why don't you like the logo?

@chrismessina looking back at history of instagram, they had the best logos. They could have done better

@jaskaransainiz1 that's not very specific. The @ symbol is a direct swipe at Twitter. Even if it's not creative, it makes its point. Furthermore, the brand needs to be secondary to Instagram, which is ostensibly the parent brand.

Hmm landing page is just a cool design? confused where to go.

One potential drawback could be the moderation quality, as ensuring appropriate, respectful conversation in such an open platform can be challenging. A stronger mechanism for filtering content or reporting misuse could further improve user experience. Let me know if you think the same.
