See. Problem is, that decade of content isn’t yours. Instagram owns it, and all the years of hard work you put into creating it.
They are not going to permit people en mass to migrate off their platform. & they’re not going to make it easy for people, that’s for sure.
We may need laws that facilitate individuals ability to pull their content off platforms and take it wherever they want.
I myself have a history of around 17k twitter posts over the years, mind you 90% of that’s me, just yelling at politicians - so not something I really care about.
But the face remains, ability to move to alternative platforms with that content is something I’d very much like.
Including the ability to take periodic snapshot backups.
