Instagram is testing more ways to flag posts you’re not interested in

Instagram is testing new settings for users to control what kind of content they see on the platform.

In a blog post, Meta says its tests include the ability to select multiple posts and mark them using the “not interested” button. This is to flag to the app that a user doesn’t want to see similar content. Currently, users can click into an individual post to flag it, but there’s no way to do that at scale.

Instagram will also soon start testing a way for users to make a list of keywords, phrases, emojis, and hashtags in recommended posts that they’re not interested in. Furthermore, TikTok rolled out a similar keyword-based feature in June — giving users the ability to “dislike” videos to steer their algorithm towards more of what they want to see.

The new controls on Instagram come shortly after users revolted over changes piling up on the platform. Apart from a flood of Reels, many Instagram users were upset by the amount of recommended content appearing on their feeds from accounts they don’t follow. Lastly, this is something Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has said will only increase going forward.

Don’t Worry Darling

Don’t Worry Darling is a 2022 film directed by Olivia Wilde and starring Harry Styles, Florence Pugh and Chris Pine. Billed as a sci-fi mystery thriller, that takes place in the 1950s. And sees a married couple played by Styles and Pugh moving into a seemingly ideal community defined by its very traditional gender roles, only to find that all is not what it appears to be.[1]

The film gained notoriety in the summer of 2022 because of purported on-set drama and tensions involving Styles, Pugh, and Wilde. Which quickly became a subject of memes and speculations from fans and detractors around the internet.

The memes coming from the movie are either about the drama itself, or using clips from the film or movie promotion, including the recent spit-gate between Harry Styles & Chris Pine.
