Technology is a limitless and boundless tool; you can use it for whatever purpose you deem fit. In the recent past, technological advancement in the social media generated Instagram, soon said to take over the social media. The thing about this social media platform is the freedom and independence of expression and comment. There is no set boundary as to what can be posted on it by someone following your account. Embarrassing and sometimes harassing comments can be seen and there is nothing you can do to remove or erase them from your account. This however, has been provided with a solution that is here to stay.
Instagram had advanced further in its inventions and designed a new feature to be incorporated into your Instagram account. The feature is designed to filter or sieve comment feeds especially embarrassing feeds that make it into your account. This feature will help in the fight against harassment and hope that all the other social medias will follow suit. This is an added advantage to Instagram users and is set to spike the number of users a notch higher.
The feature is said to offer the Instagram users the ability to sieve offensive comment, embarrassing words and harassing feeds. You can also opt or choose not to allow any comments on a specific post. This gives you as the account user the freedom to post and not to experience the demoralizing perception and view of people’s comments on a post that makes you feel good. It is important to have a fun place and a safe place altogether for people without destroying the relationship and socializing aim of the social media, in this case Instagram.
Friends and friendly chats is the main aim of any social media house. Instagram simply does not want to limit anyone’s comments or expressions of the event or person; this is why they are giving control of the feature to account users. It will be their choice to format the comment streams following their Instagram accounts to their satisfaction. This is the right step as it does not interfere with the initial aim towards the invention and development of Instagram and other social media platforms.
Instagram accounts with the highest volume of comment threads and feed will be first in the line to acquire the filter feature. They will be the first to experience the moderating feature of Instagram on their accounts. This especially will include high profile personnel, business accounts and celebrities. Of course in the following month or months, the feature will be available for all to use and experience. However, time is a crucial factor and the development of the feature for the whole Instagram is not possible yet. You will have to wait a bit longer before you have the chance to access the feature. Let’s see its effectiveness in the filtering of information with those ahead of you and me. Experiencing the new feature will be exhilarating and exciting; care should be taken to avoid losing followers. Remember that people’s opinion of you, your business or your profile matter.
The feature is the newest innovation for all social media in dealing with offensive, embarrassing and harassing comments. The other social Medias offer to; block or ban embarrassing and harassing comment feeds and users from accessing your account, creating private accounts that cannot be accessed without authorization and reporting harassing users. This does not disable, erase, moderate or edit the comments already posted in your account or those coming in. You have to live with the comment feeds in your account even after banning the user accounts of those who posted the comments. It is hard to filter any content that is offensive and or abusive in nature as they lack the filter feature. On Twitter, there is an app that is only used by verified account holders. It is meant to minimize offensive language from appearing on your account but its functionality is yet to be smooth and of quality match to the Instagram’s filter feature.
The possibility of the filter feature becoming a reality has pushed inventions and innovations creativity to a whole new level. The hope for other inventions such as a spam filter for our email accounts to be made a reality has also spiked. Instagram has made this reality seem more near achievement with the new filter feature for comment feeds on Instagram accounts. In the near future, maybe a spam filter will be developed as well.
