Maltese boomers are planning to ruin Instagram as well as Facebook, Bis-Serjetà can reveal.
Up until now, Instagram has largely remained the domain of millennials and zoomers.
But a plot by a group of over-60s to invade Instagram has been uncovered, after a boomer accidentally sent an email from his Hotmail account to his entire contact list.
“Now that we have turned Facebook totally toxic, it’s time to move on to pastures new, like locusts,” wrote Saviour Chircop, who appeared to be the group’s leader.
Laying out the plans, Chircop urged his fellow boomers to sign up to Instagram, and once logged in, to begin flooding the site with blurry selfies, taken at strange angles while frowning.
“To my fellow men: don’t forget to wear your sunglasses, and if you have a bald head, remember to polish it. And ladies – I trust you have all your flowery ‘Good morning’ and ‘God bless you’ images saved in a folder ready to go. Same goes for racist, homophobic and sexist memes. The snowflakes will hate those,” he wrote.
The next phase of the invasion involves leaving comments on influencers’ photos telling them to put some clothes on and calling them sluts, while writing in uppercase.
“Finally, make sure to fill Instagram with photos of Robert Abela, Adrian Delia (or Bernard Grech if he wins the leadership race this weekend), and other ministers, together with the obligatory ‘prosit ministrus’. Before long, only Tiktok will be free from us boomers, for now…” he concluded ominously.
