Instagram is hiding likes and view count for public viewing

[babarsuhail]

We want your friends to focus on the photos and videos you share, not how many likes they get. You can still see your own likes by tapping on the list of people who've liked it, but your friends will not be able to see how many likes your post has received.

We’re looking forward to learning more about how

Delete the entire website tbh. It's way too tempting to internet stalk exes and I have no willpower.

:(

[analievelyn]

aww. Can you block them?

[glitterslugs]

you can but it's pointless bc you can just log out and check their profile anyway lmao

[urfave]

Same tbh. It was tragic.

[procedurals]

saaaaame. Was supposed to go on vacation with my ex last week but he broke up with me a few weeks ago. I went on the vaycay anyways and have been posting images on my stories and he is watching ALL OF THEM! I'm like wtf you broke up with me! I've been avoiding watching his stories and in general muted his account, but it's sooooo tempting.

Good for you for still doing the vacation! Where did you go?

I rented a beautiful Danish modern farmhouse in upstate NY with a huge, gorgeous in-ground salt water pool, a big, perfectly groomed lawn, a separate guesthouse, all surrounded by bucolic farmland for 5 days. Originally it was supposed to be a big group of friends but then EVERYONE bailed, so the only saving grace was "well it will just be me and *bf* and we always have the best time together and will swim every day so its all okay!" LOL so that kind of fell apart.

My mom ended up flying out and coming with me, as well as another girl friend who loves upstate. I was feeling stressed because of my own previous expectations of the trip, but I'm soooooo happy I went; it was exactly what I needed to heal and I'd been looking forward to it since March.
