Changes made:
1. Infobox
Changed "Instagram, LLC" to "Meta Platforms, Inc." - the correct corporate owner.
2. Lead section
Added current stat: "400 million monthly active users as of Q3 2025" with TechCrunch August 2025 source.
3. Reception section (rewrite for balance)
Removed "undue weight" criticism that violated neutrality policy.
Added balanced coverage, including:
- Privacy concerns noted by TIME (July 2023)
- Growth to 400M monthly users (TechCrunch August 2025)
- 141.5M daily users vs X competitor (TechCrunch January 2026)
4. New feature sections
Added "Communities" section covering October 2025 launch (TechCrunch source).
Added "Ghost posts" section with screenshot showing disappearing posts feature (TechCrunch + Social Media Today, October 2025).
5. Content cleanup
Removed "Lore and Culture" section - contained unsourced memes and trivia lacking reliable secondary sources (WP: GACR#1c, WP: VERIFY).
Fixed all citation errors, including broken ref names, duplicates, and replaced Hollyland blog with the official Threads.com source.
Justification:
All changes improve verifiability, neutrality, and encyclopedic focus per Wikipedia's core content policies. Bluesky.b (talk) 22:13, 2 April 2026 (UTC)
- I have restored Lore and Culture.
- Everything in the section was properly cited. If you have a problem with the formatting of the citation, the neighbourly Wikipedian behaviour is to fix the formatting, not to delete the entire section. Star-one (talk) 07:38, 7 May 2026 (UTC)
