Since this tweet was made, it has been liked by more than five lakh people and has had a lot of reactions.
Take a look at some of the responses here:
One person in the Twitter comments section said, "Instagram is designed to make you wish you were someone else. It's a happiness trap. Twitter has its own issues, but at least it doesn't do that. Big shoutout to all the Instagram creators who are creating positive, uplifting content on the platform, though."
Another person said, "Tbh, social media is a reflection of ourselves. What we choose to look at and interact with teaches algorithms who we are, and it shows us more of who it thinks we are. Emotions are tools— they show us what we're thinking about, so if you feel angry when looking at something, ask yourself why. What inspired the anger, and how can you make it go away? What can you do?"
A third person added, "Twitter makes people aware, that's more valuable. I barely use Instagram, it doesn't have a ton of value to me. I'm on Twitter a lot." What do you think about it?
