I’ve actually not gotten any sort of advertising about it from Instagram/Meta, be in the the app or email or anything. I’ve only seen the tech blogs and people on twitter posting about it organically, so I wouldn't say they're aggressively pushing it, at least right now
While it uses your instagram account, it's a separate app and you have to actually go through sign up to be on it. So while there is less of a hurdle, it’s definitely not anyone on instagram, only if you’ve actively signed up for it.
Apparently it won't be federating with other ActivityPub instances right away, but planned for shortly post-launch
I don't think thats true about the design community hating it. I think a lot of designers have a general fondness for it. I’ve been in Product Design for years and have rarely heard anyone hating on it.
