I have to create one for personal reasons. I know it's inherently un-private, but how can I maximize privacy while creating & using it without running into problems?

I've been using barinsta for a while now, and while it crashes sometimes and often takes ages to load my feed (I follow around 150 accounts) it's way better than the official app imo and enough to browse and occasionally react to my friend's messages. My one rule is to never post my face and I don't upload pictures of people in general, but I guess that depends on what you have to use it for. On and obviously no location tags in posts, but I don't think I have to explain that on a privacy instance ^^'

sadly barinsta development stalled over a year ago and in my case I get banned every time I use the app and need to do weird captchas on the official site.
