For some time I haven’t liked where Instagram has been going and finally decided last year to remove my Instagram art account. After waiting over two months to be accepted to show my work via PixelFed and although the audience may be limited in numbers compared to Instagram I started to give it a try this week. We’ll see how it goes, At least I’m not bombarded with ads and suggestions of I stuff I should like to see.
January 16, 2025 Update
So far I have been posting a number of times and I like the fact that there are no ads and suggested reels some algorithm thinks I might want to see. I create posts and use hashtags. I can like, follow, share others posts. I like that others can designate sensitive content that doesn’t appear so you can’t see it unless you click on it but I wish there was a setting to block that kind of content so it doesn’t even appear in the first place.
