Unfortunately if you play music in a band Instagram is kind of a necessary evil for spreading news about your band.

In my experience, Instagram has also become the most reliable source for local restaurants randomly being closed (this has happened more often than I would like to discuss post-pandemic) and breweries (i.e. which food truck is at which brewery on any given day).

I have found those to be the only reasons that I ever check Instagram.

Yeah, for anything local, Instagram and Facebook are still the way to go. I don't have a personal Instagram account, but when I check the band's account I really don't see anything questionable in there. I guess it just comes down to who you follow and who follows you. The worst thing I see is the occasional bot spam or bot account follow.
