…well, I suppose I’m just stating the obvious 😄. One thing about IG — I wonder if your experience was due to your using it as a musician. No idea since I never have, but IG always seemed, to me at least, set up to cater more to visual artists—e.g., the “gallery” view. What’s your take on that?

Solastalgic (@my-solastalgia.bsky.social) reply parent

😄Yeah, perhaps they should! That sounds super toxic, to be sure. I never really enjoyed FB (the feed, including never being able to find anything easily, was beyond annoying). I appreciate having control over whose content I see, and the feed displayed in a “neutral” way. Otherwise it becomes

Great discussion on the Bluesky community experience; I'm curious what others think. What are your thoughts?

Solastalgic (@my-solastalgia.bsky.social) reply parent

will press on, and hopefully over time Bluesky will continue to grow ("we don't just participate in the culture; we create the culture," and all that). I confess that I peek at IG once in a while, but I'm usually quickly reminded of why I "left."

Solastalgic (@my-solastalgia.bsky.social) reply parent

accounts, and although I haven't shut them down, I don't keep them active these days. I much prefer the experience here, even with the slow down. The one thing I miss, TBH, is IG's much larger art community. But, I'm holding out hope that those of use who value the atmosphere & community here

Solastalgic (@my-solastalgia.bsky.social) reply parent

Before, IG was my go-to platform, but the vibe there in my experience had become cynical and impersonal over time--not surprising, given the constant barrage of changes that eroded the user experience over time. The AI slop was for me just about the last straw. I had a handful of art/photography

Solastalgic (@my-solastalgia.bsky.social) reply parent

Great discussion topic! I'm glad you brought this up, as I've had similar thoughts/questions lately. I too joined after the election, and immediately, I felt what I've come to think of as the "old Instagram vibe"--the community here was welcoming, inclusive, encouraging... in a word, FRIENDLY!

Absolutely; I often paint in sync with the season, although not always. With photography, it’s even more extreme, since I mainly do nature & landscape stuff. Is your photography tied to the seasons too?
