Post for a new group. I think your work is beautiful. I’ll follow you to help. Come to a Donk party and let them help you grow your circle.

I am still on instagram, and now I'm getting pulmulled with real estate ads. Why? Because my daughter and I have been talking about selling the house. I'm done. I will close all my instagram accounts by end of week. Here's my picture contribution.
Looking forward to Flashes Android release. But I guess there's no reason BlueSky couldn't be used just as much to share pretty pics as it is to share micro thoughts...🤔
The wife and I got in huge argument, since the elected Dems are just begging for money instead of doing something physical, I think she’s right, f the Democrats and run, if they don’t give an F, I probably should just f’ing run away too. F$&@ing elected Dems just sitting around collecting money.
@sanders.senate.gov is taking the fight to the the Republican districts, trying to make them realize the actions in DC are going to hurt them just as much as Democrats. USAID and USDA cuts in funding have already cost farmers hundreds of millions of dollars in subsidies.
I disagree. Right now Republicans have the House and Senate, nothing can be done about it. Once they try to pass actual laws and not Executive Orders and Resolutions the Dems can Filibuster. Until then suing the administration and focusing on winning the midterms is literally all that can be done.
Trump and Musk are losing in court, so far the only thing they have accomplished is firing probationary employees. Even those employees have sued the administration and the cases will work their way through the courts. I understand the frustration but blaming representatives is counter productive.
That's one reason I still haven't been able to disengage from that platform. Some of the people I follow and who follow me have been with me since Flickr days, and others are artist friends I've made along the way.
Dates back to about 2000BC. It is a burial mound on Angelsey Island in Wales. The direction that it is facing the sun comes in perfectly on the summer solstice. It was a lovely place to visit but WAY off the beaten path & was a bit of a walk to get back to. It is surrounded by farmland with cows 🐮
My bro keeps sending me texts with links to Insta. I had to tell him to come join us over here and share his silliness with us.
P.S. I like your big cloud.
I miss the funny videos (animals, kids) on IG that I could count on for a laugh when I needed one. I had saved so many and I’d watch them when feeling low. I wish both things were possible here. 😕
You know where I find my groups? TikTok. People don’t believe that about TikTok until they do. It’s the secret sauce. My music people, my book people, my bird nerds, my travel girlies, my nature photographers
… the algorithm needs a chance to do it’s magic, but it does. It’s has for me.
Nothing changed. A Chinese company still owns it and is beholden to the CCP. Trump just knows he can gain more politically from supporting it than blocking it now unlike before. I’m not saying not to use it, just that absolutely nothing has changed on the backend.
You're right nothing has changed on the developer side. US government opposition citing nat'l security risks becuz of data sharing is no longer a worry to any user who actually cared about it to begin with. That my data is for sale on the open market thanks to the government, makes a mockery of it.
Transitioning off IG as want to #boycottinstagram and not on FB except for marketplace as gumtree is useless but loving being here and raise you a #bigtreetrunk
Thanks for that big cloud. I miss it too, and the people I was connected to who were gardening, and building and cooking and training their puppies. But I feel better not supporting META.
I love clouds. My son gave me a membership. I get an email with a Cloud A Day. I also submit cloud photos and, if accepted, they get shared with members. Lots of fun!
Yes, I miss the original Instagram of 2011. As a creative professional it was another channel for my art. Now it’s just a cesspool of ads and videos. This was one of my favourite images I captured for Instagram…
It’s just an Instagram-like experience overtop of BlueSky. If you have both apps installed you’ll see you Flashes posts in the BlueSky app after posting them. It’s more about replicating the user experience, and they did a really good job IMO.
Try the Line app. Japan/South Korea owned, tons of people that direction use it. Works well in the US too. I have no idea if it replaces Instagram because I've never used that, but Line works great for groups.
I’ve deleted my IG account, Goodreads account (that was hard; I had 11 years’ worth of books there!) and plan to deactivate FB at the end of April (I have group commitments). I’ve been feeling blue. Thanks for articulating it. I do miss the mood lift of looking at pretty pics 😔
My son gave me a beautiful journal and I spent hours documenting the titles, authors and ratings. Lost the reviews, though. I miss being able to pull out my phone to confirm the title of the cool book on subject X that I read in 2021 😕
I feel for thee her shieldmaiden and I hope thou findeth Bluesky a worthy home. Tis a MONSTER of a FIERY cloud, by ye sands of Muspelheim!!! Lovely shot ❤️
Beautiful :) I can’t help but take pics of the sky what seems almost daily; it’s a different painting every time, and it’s right there above all of us!!! It’s such a gift
I do too. I had so many cool art discoveries and incredible recipes bookmarked. But Nazi sympathizer company needs to vanish. And this is the only way it will. Totally cancel it out. Ignore. Delete.
I miss my Facebook and connection with all my people. I needed help finding a dentist for my son, and normally, I would just ask and get an answer. It's lonely and I feel disconnected, but I just can't support the men that support nazis 🤷♀️
I miss my birding community on IG. I’m trying to save my posts from there and haven’t completely figured that out, then I’m closing the account. Anyone have ideas how to accomplish saving them, I’m not technically inclined.
I've never been on Instagram, but I'm thinking you might be able to post for your little group here by adding #AlphabetChallenge This week's theme is #WeekIforInside.
It'll feel better once everyone has migrated. Change is hard! I'm feeling it too. Nice to be away from the ads (which lets be real, were 75% of the content).
