Yeah, i've noticed they look the best always. It's not authentic, though some will type the truth of how they feel. I don't see it in photos very much on socials, outside of dating apps.
The word "insecurity" is strange to me. i see it thrown around a bit, yet find it doesn't make sense, when i think of what it means. "free from harm" or "afforded safety". Seeing others, doesn't cause me harm or loss of safety, just a sort of " body image issue", which makes more since. when i think of security, i think of a military base or defenses against imperialism etc, when i think of security. Hope that makes sense.
If i compare to fb/twitter mstodon is better. However, mastodon has a lot of "instagram like" people posting on it and i don't like or feel comfortable with that aspect. I like text based and less image based. I don't like seeing people posting how they look.
