If all social media is ridiculous... What in the world are you doing on a ridiculous forum then?
Depends on your objective. If you want to post thoughts for the world to see and share, make a public one. If you want to keep in touch with your high school friend who up and moved across the country after graduating, get a private one. It all depends on individual use case. What works better for the purpose for which you are using it?

One thing I've noticed is the in thing keeps changing often. In the last decade or so it was MySpace, then FB, then Twitter, then Instagram, and if I'm not mistaken Instagram is being replaced as the in-thing by some other platform even as you ask this.
I'm old, so didn't get MySpace at all, then I did do FB and got bored with that after a year or two, and joined Twitter to ask a question to a CEO eons ago and never did get an answer.
This is not to say I don't do social media. (Kind of silly to say that since CC is social media. lol) But I had to decide what I wanted to accomplish in the doing of it.
I think you have to decide what you want to accomplish on Instagram to get the right answer for you.
Ends up, I went back to FB for a very important reason. I'm really not a phone caller kind of person, but I desperately needed to get hold of some people. Hubby's family. They are more modern than I am, so got into that whole get-a-new-phone-every-few-years thing, and stopped using their old phone. Quite a bit of a problem, since I needed to tell them their brother had a heart attack. I did tell them, on FB.
Now FB is where I go to see how family is doing. And, yeah, no one really tells how they're doing on FB, so I just see the good side. (Pictures of kids, pets, foods, scenery, and birds.) But seeing them, means I know they're okay. (And, I just found out an old friend died through FB, so no guarantee what is happening if I don't see them.)
And Twitter? Ended up doing something completely funky with Twitter. I joined in with a community of people who post as their stuffed animals and with fellow writers. The two connect with me since, yeah, I post as my teddy bear too, as well as me-the-writer. I'm surprised how many stuffie-posers/posters have their own books, so looks like a built in community of like-kind (nuts) like me.
I don't know Instagram. I may never know Instagram. But, your answer is directly related to what you want to post on it. Do you want the world to know you and attack you if they even somewhat disagree? (And FB during the last Presidential elections really helped me learn who were friends and who weren't.) Or do you want to connect with those you trust?
You need to figure out why you're on it, and then you'll know your answer to what you should do.

It depends on the kind of account you want to create
if you want to make, in example, an account with facts against abortion you could make a public account, so anyone could see it.
I would prefer a private account, so I can control who sees my private pictures.
