Special Interest

since a few people I needed to contact no longer answer to e-mails, I set up a instagram account.
If anybody wants to add me, I am @anticitizen I already "met" several members of this forum :)

Most new visual art I do will be posted on @stonefelt.artwork for now, feel free to follow/add/whatever.

@snare_rush for my music/zine related output

People not replying to emails because they only use Facebook or Instagram now annoys me to no end, especially since I tend to keep each "platform" separate for personal or more professional stuff. Recently I've been asked if I had Whatsapp to book gigs because those people won't answer emails, FB or IG DMs. Errr... no? Grrr. It seems that the more means to get in touch we have, the less reachable we become...

Anyway, already following you on IG. Keep up the good posting, man.

yep I am pretty frustrated about that, it is completely retard. I mean it is ok to not replay because you are busy. but not because you are putting likes to kitten instead of sending my stuff ;)
(and I am not referring to you of course)

Hahaha, yeah. I mean, I am TOTALLY guilty of posting pictures of my cats on there but serious business is serious business ffs.

The irony of this statement is that next year someone is going to be saying:
since a few people I needed to contact no longer answer to instagram, I set up an [insert new platform here] account.

deadbeats will never answer regardless of the platform.

It is good to note how active this forum has remained in the face of all the social media gubbins. This and a few others I frequent have shown that there is still a core audience for this sort of space.

Social media in its brutalist form

I find it kinda sad, the practice of abandoning each social media platform in favor of the new vogue, most of all Instagram, which seems to be more about "representing something.". I'm not really criticizing anyone here, just the function in general; sort of parallels the notion that folks around my age are more interested in proving they had a good time with selfies than just enjoying whatever they were doing.

Someone posted a picture of one of my zines on Instagram under the hashtag "Peter Sotos" and I found that a little strange, to put it very politely. There was also a picture under the same tag of some skinny punk chick with a leather jacket that had a JonBenet Ramsey picture sewn on it along with the "PURE" logo from Sotos' youthful indiscretions. Fucking embarrassing, but maybe it serves me right.

Actually, I deleted my first FB account because I was upset with it but then people asked me to come back because they didn't use emails. Then, as I helped booking gigs, people began trying to contact me through my personal FB instead of emails, which pissed me off too as I like to keep things compartimented and neat. Then they didn't answer FB anymore and wanted to get in touch through IG. And two weeks ago I got asked whether I had Whatsapp for those things. I don't. *sigh

exactly.

A recent Facebook users, I am already seeing pexpletives wanting me to like and follow on instagram
And wonder why.
Part ofor me wonders if it relates to maximisingredients exposure for a band label or whatever

I like Instagram more than any other social media platform. I signed up for Facebook a couple years ago but I exclusively use it for band/label stuff. The amount of inane chatter, pointless political bickering (um, actually.....) and pointless nonsense have rendered it useless to me although it’s a valuable “tool” so I won’t be deleting it. I though I would avoid it but here I am in my late 30’s signing up!

Anyway, instagram is fun and not too serious and if y’all want to add me I’m @carrierfrequency there.

@maggot_shroud

pretty boring, most just post records and update my story with dumb bullshit

It's a good medium if you work the algorithm

My Instagram is mostly being used to document lots of old achive flyers. I have already worked through my CMI collection and starting on the rest.

Find instagram better than most social media, but still its shit for communication. Will never take people who dont manage to write an email seriously.
Anyway, mine is @foss.sk. Mostly art, and the random hiking or music related.
Or label @recordsofthefleshgod posts relevant info plus gig photos etc.

I subscribed to your account. I use Ig app more often than other social networks. I feel comfortable communicating with people via Direct. So Instagram is now the most convenient social network in which there's an opportunity to develop an account. I never even thought I could very easily get free instagram followers (https://socialboosts.org/free-instagram-followers/). I've always used it just for work. But about six months ago, I realized that I like doing content creation. Processing photos and writing posts have become something commonplace for me now. It puts me in a better mood. Plus, the increase in audience noticeably boosts my self-esteem. I subscribe to you so that you can subscribe to me mutually.

Yes, but it easily allows multiple accounts and some sort of anonymity / feed curation, so that is why I prefer it.  Also, my parents do not use it.

@timdragenoise

and for Isn'tses products/synths stuff @chernobylizersynth

@violated.sun mine. and sadly IG remains my only way to reach out for my projects.

For all Young Hustlers info there’s now a page on Instagram to keep updated on Skuggsidan releases!

@Skuggsidan111

@aktirecords label stuff and @paatoimitus for more personal stuff.

Just deleted mine after debating it for a year. Recent discussions on here and WCN podcast made me pull the trigger. Besides, I got real sick with the random viral reels that would play while scrolling through. I don’t think noise culture should exist in the same world as that. There are a few good connections I made through using it but that could always continue via email.

For all things God Is War, TCU, Koufar, etc news, tours, upodates:
 
@crimesofthecrown777

I can understand your frustration with not getting responses to your emails. I've had that happen to me before as well. It's good that you've taken the initiative to set up an Instagram account so that you can connect with people more easily. Let me know if you ever want to connect on Instagram. I look forward to meeting more people from this forum! Also, as a life hack, I can recommend you to use https://famoid.com/instagram-reels/ (https://famoid.com/instagram-reels/). With it, you can gain many new organic followers and likes making your page a little more popular. Good luck!

Better late than never..
