So people just use instagram now. Really not much reason a Twitter like thing has to be the main communication vessel.

Instagram is honestly really fucking terrible when it comes to thread discussions. Let's say person C responds to person B who is responding to person A, person A will get a notification even though the person C responding to person B had nothing at all to do with person A. This has personally led to past confusion for me as I thought someone was responding to my post when they really weren't. It also has this weird habit of makin posts just disappear temporarily. Sometimes I'll see a like or response to one of my posts, and when I go there the amount of posts that used to be there are reduced (and not in the sense that they are all highly offensive or anything) and sometimes even my own is gone, which is annoying when trying to figure out who is responding to me with what.

And finally, there's no edit button. I don't know who the fuck actually finds that appealing or wise for a discussion setting, however IG recently had this update that allows for a new feature in the comments section, yet they didn't add the damn ability to edit. Really sucks when you type out a lengthy response only to catch some easily fixed mistakes, however cause there's no edit you've then got to choose between retyping that whole thing or looking occasionally illiterate from the perspective of others reading your posts.

For the longest time the thing I disliked most about Twitter was also that there was no edit button, and as much as I dislike Musk, I'll at least give him credit as being the person who finally added one.

holy shit people spend 30 minutes and 1 hour on twitter an IG per day, respectively?

An hour on IG doesn't even sound like a lot when you're just scrolling through your wall, especially if it's spread out throughout the day.
