That's objectively poor survey design. For questions like that there should always be an 'Other' option. There should also be a 'None' or 'N/A' option.

A radio presenter this morning was talking like we all have Instagram, I found that incredibly annoying.

Not to mention one person having multiple accounts for different purposes and business accounts. Instagram is big, no doubt, but not 2 billion users big

[-] Impleader@lemmy.world 30 points 1 month ago

And how many are bots?

[-] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 month ago

Yeah, just for my roommate ages back there's her, her dog, the creepy person stealing the pictures of her dog and making an account based on that

I first questioned why two billion cats have Instagram accounts, then realized there can't be 2 billion Egyptian Maus in all the world, much less on Instagram.

Someone confused MAU (Monthly Average Users) with Mau (the Egyptian Mau cat). :)

Deadmau5 is alive and still active. Am I missing something here?

[-] RogueBanana@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

They removed the first half "Dead" from "Deadmau5", leaving "Maus". It's a joke.

Monthly active mice?

[-] WolfmanEightySix@piefed.social 8 points 1 month ago

I’m fine with being weird, my beef is the presumption that everyone has Instagram.

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

How many of those are bots or alts?

[-] f314@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Sure, two billion is a lot, but that is still only a third of all living adults.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 month ago
[-] WolfmanEightySix@piefed.social 3 points 1 month ago

That’s what I’m on. I need to take all the picture off my Instagram.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

How does that work? Does this just show up as a comments section tied to an image?

[-] WolfmanEightySix@piefed.social 1 points 1 month ago

Sorry, I meant I use Pixelfed not Instagram. Not that I’m posting these comments from Pixelfed.

[-] bamboo 46 points 1 month ago

Agreed, the only way this would be acceptable if this was in an application for a Social Media manager position?

[-] TherapyGary 23 points 1 month ago

I complained in the "other" box that they did include for a different question lol

[-] Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 month ago

And yet, I think most people are checking all those boxes, unfortunately. Pray for their mental health! 😵
