Photographers should give serious consideration to winding down on Instagram. Publish to your own website and, if you must use a platform, try Flickr. It is so much better for photography in every way. Instagram will be only TikTok-like videos soon.

@cdevroe You’re probably more right than you know.
@cdevroe I am doing this. Started going back to Flickr and will only post a few on instagram probably.
@pcora @cdevroe I’ve never had a Flickr account but this month’s photoblog challenge has been really enjoyable. I feel like it’s time I pursue photography further, so I’m likely doing the same.
@cdevroe I’d love for people to move there, again. Much nicer… well, everything.
@cdevroe Go Flickr!
@cdevroe What has kept me off of Instagram (besides the impending TikTok-like take over) is the lack of space on the app for looking at one picture. There is always the hint of the previous picture and the next in the scroll, or the ever-present ‘story’ banner at the top. It’s amazing how distracting this can be. Also, @jack mentioned this recently, the inability to post on Instagram from a desktop is a real bummer, especially for film photographers posting scans. All that to say: you’re right.
@cdevroe pretty much all my photos / images go to Flickr in some capacity, most not set to public but it’s been reliable and great host / copy of my photos since 2006 for me. Totally recommend
@cdevroe Agreed. Haven’t posted to Instagram for over a year now and it’s nice. I’ll be giving Flickr another look thanks to Micro.blog’s new integration with it that makes it so much easier!
