Your Gate-Keeping Instagram Extension

Features & Capabilities

Modern social media is not merely a tool but rather an environment designed to strip you of your autonomy. The algorithmic feeds we consume are inherently immoral because they systematically violate the conditions necessary for a flourishing human life.

This extension is a nihilistic attempt to use code to break the code. It is a "gate" that forces friction into a frictionless system, returning a small sliver of agency to the user.

FEATURES

Breathing Room: Enforces a deep breath (delay) before entering the feed.
Scroll Limits: Hard locks the feed after a set number of posts.
Validation Removal: Hides likes, shares, and comments to re-center your internal locus of evaluation.

OPEN SOURCE & TRANSPARENCY

This project is fully open source. The code is unminified and available for you to inspect.

Privacy: No external analytics. No data harvesting.
Safety: Designed to be non-malicious.

If you enjoy this extension, please consider giving the repository a Star on GitHub (https://github.com/Lin8x/Instergater). It helps significantly with visibility and supports the developer.

DISCLAIMER & LIABILITY

Account Risk: Use at your own risk. The developer is not liable for account bans, suspensions, or limitations resulting from the use of this tool.
No Affiliation: This project is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Instagram or Meta Platforms, Inc.
