Are folks still using Flickr? Is it a nice place to be in — no algorithms, no AI slop? Would you recommend it?

@matratype
There are at least a few #flickr posts every month, so it seems like some folks do use it -

@matratype I do remember before social media realistically existed, it was an awesome place.

@matratype I like it, there are a few features that Pixelfed doesn’t have that I like

@matratype I've been using Flickr since 2004. Will use it until I cannot use it no more. It's the only good place for photos on the Internet. Use it!
Oh, also my collection:

@matratype I lost interest when they threatened to delete my photos if I didn't go premium. Never went back.

@matratype @fsvo I am. Not sure if anyone I know personally sees anything I post there, though it’s up for posterity, and (unlike Zuck’s Dopamine Slot Machine) linkable on the open web.

@AzureKingfisher Oh
What happened? -
@oheso Excellent! I used to have a Pro account over a decade ago, which I downgraded when my usage fell.
Loved seeing the heron in your photos

@mandelbroccoli Ooh, like what? I haven’t considered Pixelfed at all, TBH. Not sure why
-
@scozmos Ohh, is that a regional or national regulation they are abiding by? Or is it their own requirement?

@adayinthedotcom That it was

@AzureKingfisher Oh
What happened?@matratype I went on flickr when it was still owned by Yahoo. It got sold a couple of times and got worse here and there technically. Then they introduced a disk space limit retrospectively and didn't stop sending threatening emails that they would delete everything over that limit if I didn't sign up for premium right now.
I don't know if they deleted my photos. I lost all and every interest in that site. -

I made my account when Yahoo owned it, something I realised again yesterday when I noticed that my login credentials were Yahoo not Google. I didn’t realise things got bad in this way when they changed hands. -
@matratype i just made a new one but the groups are all very tumbleweeds
@forestine Thanks, that’s good to know
-
@jasohill Thank you! Them cherry blossoms 🤩
@matratype Thank you.
Just wrapped up the blossom season here in Northern Iwate. -
@matratype Still the best place to host, organize, and share photos. https://www.flickr.com/photos/stewf/collections/72157721878264417/
They are taking platform-agnostic preservation seriously, too: https://www.flickr.org/programs/content-mobility/data-lifeboat/
@typographica Wow, I didn’t know about their Data Lifeboat. Thanks!

@matratype I stopped posting there last December for no particular reason. Might resume at some point.
@jef @matratype Have a look at Vernissage, maybe?
