The band Muse has surrendered its Instagram and X handles to Meta after the release of its new AI agent, Muse.

The English rock band Muse has been renamed on Instagram and X from “Muse” to “museband.”

Despite the band Muse having had its Instagram account since 2012 and its X account since 2008, it has seemingly surrendered the handle to Mark Zuckerberg’s newest AI agent.

It is so odd that everybody seems to dump on facebook (and rightly so), but everybody is still using instagram, perhaps even more than ever.

    I had to open an Instagram this year after never having to use it. It has become so popular that government agencies, cultural events, and company's information is only published there. It's also become increasingly difficult to scrap information from there or even visit it from a website.

    My wife sometimes sends me Instagram links, and half the time they don't even open to the post she was sending me. Most of the time it's obvious (such as if I get sent to the main feed), but sometimes it takes me to a completely different post. WHAT THE HELL WAS I SUPPOSED TO SEE?!

    I've tried to follow some artists on Instagram, but it never seems to show me their most recent posts. I have to go into each one and look individually. It prioritizes random other people over the people I've specifically followed. If I click on someone's profile circle at the top of the page, I get ...a video? It doesn't take me to their page where I can fucking see what they've posted lately.

    What a pain in the ass. I rarely use it. It's just not worth the headache. Too bad, because I really like things like the thrillhousecycling account, which is cycling memes using Simpsons screen shots.

    We all know Facebook, et al, have algorithms to prioritize certain content, but Instagram's seems to be far, far worse. I only follow ~3 accounts, and I see dozens of other things, but not the ones I actually follow.
