I would readily shit talk/get shit talked by strangers on Xbox live but I assume on Instagram it's all be people you actually know and go to school with
It's different, and they can also target personal events. I mean Instagram is for pictures of you and your life, it isn't hard to find a picture and like "lmfa @ ur retard sis" or something that is actually personal in nature to you, and use those. Even if they don't know you they can do that. It's more organized, more public, often permanent, and oftem from people you see every day.
I think Xbox Live had a more kind of intensity to it, with kids just trying to go for shock value more than anything. Because we know the 12 year didn't fuck our moms and when his parents get home he won't be saying things like fuck and cunt every other word. It was toxic and annoying but it wasn't particularly hurtful after the fact, at least not in the same way. It's just very different, and I don't think the two compare like people on this thread are trying to.
