A fake Instagram — the private second account for the real self, with the bad photos and the honest captions — which was every teenager's secret in 2016–18 and was, in 2021, said aloud in a Senate hearing by a senator who did not understand it. The record's entry for the secret account.
You were there or you weren't. I remember the first week of Finsta — 2016, roughly — and the specific feeling that everyone had agreed on a joke overnight without a meeting.
The record notes the finsta was replaced by close friends and then by 'photo dumps', and that each one was the same idea: a place to be a person rather than a profile.
What does it mean? Write it the way you would say it out loud.
