Everyone: Posting blacked out images to Instagram to show support My dumb ass: What's happened to Instagram, did their image hosting go down?

Which is why these black squares are arse
You know I thought a while about whether it was right to post a square.. Deffo a lot of mixed feelings. Absolutely don't agree with clogging up important hashtags, otherwise it creates conversation. I'm in two minds about whether or not it's appropriate.

I've seen several Black people on Twitter really upset it's pushed all the actual information out of the hashtag. I rarely use Insta so I haven't actually seen it but I'm going to say it's not

Yeah absolutely, though only when hashtagged wrong. Problem is, when so many people post it and not everyone realises about incorrect tags, they post it under black lives matter and have unintentionally contributed to a problem. Probably best to just share useful resources.

It just seems counterintuitive to me. I understand not posting anything personal and just posting/rting relevant posts or donation links, but posting a black square and disappearing off social media for the day? How is that helpful

I suppose on one hand it creates conversation about an important topic, it is a declaration to cleanse sm for a day to focus on what matters, but on the other hand can potentially erase important resources when posted with incorrect tags. It's a weird one for sure.
