@matratype I certainly know that @nicksherman and @stewf are big users and fans.

@matratype Yes to all your questions! And, when you pay, no ads either. Other than @FontsInUse and @internetarchive, Flickr is my favorite site on the internet.

@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/

@matratype i believe it does get used to train AI but am not sure whether or not the platform itself endorses this; just kind of a consequence of the CC license so many of the images have

@matratype I do. Still seems to be doing the same job it’s done for over a decade now.

@matratype I stopped posting there last December for no particular reason. Might resume at some point.

@matratype i just made a new one but the groups are all very tumbleweeds

@Flominator@genealysis.social 2026-05-01 06:06
@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.

@scozmos@mastodon.scot 2026-05-01 06:15
@matratype I still use it but barely since they keep asking me to prove my age 🤬🤬

@mandelbroccoli@cupoftea.social 2026-05-01 06:22
@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: https://www.flickr.com/photos/jasohill

@matratype I've been using it for ages and still use it. I have a pro account, which gives me unlimited usage. https://www.flickr.com/photos/djfoheso/

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

@acb@mastodon.social 2026-05-01 07:52
@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.

@matratype You might also like Pixelfed, the Mastodon equivalent of Instagram.

@Photo55@mastodon.social 2026-05-02 17:35
@matratype I do, look more than post. Still officially the place for parkrun photos I think.

@matratype It's good enough for #NASA.

@matratype Flickr is still the best. I need to get back there. (I still keep my paid account because I want to support them.)
