State of online abuse
Mainstream media portrays online abuse to be one the major problems that plagues online conversation.
Atleast on Instagram, we can go to the Privacy settings and manually enter words and phrases that we do not wish to see on any comments on posts. ( Racist, sexist language can be entered , so can most of the words that would form a death threat)
Is this proactive solution still not enough to curb the situation or have things actually become better and we just don’t know?

All new posts need a flair going forward

Facebook, to me, has always had this problem, especially when it comes to politics. For the past year or so, Twitter has become so political that it’s almost useless for business. Business posts seem almost out of place there now. I don’t run into this much on Instagram but it’s nice to know the filter you mentioned is there if we need it.

Yes, so I just follow something I am interested in. The posts and comments which I didn’t wish to see always let me down, and I even don’t want to argue with them.
