Thinking of reviving my long dead account 🤔

Also, there are discussions within groups, which is nice, especially for camera specific groups. Pixelfed doesn’t feel quite like it does that side of thing as well.
Also, searching through images by lens etc. is easier, which is a thing I like to do if I’m considering wasting a bunch more money on kit I don’t really need

I didn’t realise things got bad in this way when they changed hands.

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 used to have a Pro account over a decade ago, which I downgraded when my usage fell.

Loved seeing the heron in your photos 🙂
