@binarydigit I want to hate Flickr (after they've been bought out) but I'm still on it. I've had 2 accounts since early 2000s, deleted all the photos in them... but am back again. It has one job and it does it decently well for me.

@jedda @binarydigit Flickr was amazing social media for me when I was active in it, back maybe 2005-2010ish. Made a number of friends, always enjoyed the convos and photos. Still have an account, but they lost me during that awkward ownership transition, and by then I had launched my own photo site for my adventures. Still have a free account—which is now missing ~25k of my photos from my paid days—but now I’m not sure I’d pay the annual fee. Miss the old days tho!

@binarydigit Flickr. Wow! You unlocked so many 2004-09 memories here. I left and never looked back. Is it good?

@binarydigit @rscottjones I miss the old Flickr too! Although I never really used the social aspect of it. I just like being able to organize my photos into albums and collections... and being able to download original resolution, plus the metadata it provides. Maybe they'll make a comeback 😂 (I wish I can change my old af username. I probs should've just created a new account lol)
