We are inching slowly away from this online space, because free speech doesn't mean what the owner thinks it means.

We're on Mastodon and Bluesky, so please follow us there if you'd like to stay in touch:

@johtso @internetarchive @Flickr Hi - it's not up to the Flickr Foundation to share user-level commentary in a public forum (or anyone, really?) — but we did learn last week that the Flickr team is in communication with the account holder.

[Flickr Foundation @flickrfdn]

@PublicDomainRev @brewster_kahle @textfiles Hi again - the company has let us know they're in touch with the account holder. 👋

[Flickr Foundation @flickrfdn]

@PublicDomainRev @brewster_kahle @textfiles Hi - No action on that account from here. We do know sometimes that account can be slow because it's so huge, but not sure if this is that. We'll ask the .com.

Today we're publishing a new report, "20 Years of Flickr: Archiving the Living Environment" by @ashleymaerie.
It focusses on the value of Flickr, risks to its longevity, and suggested practices to adopt as we move forward with our mission. Thanks Ash!

We've been waxing and waning about finding ways to look back over Flickr's 20 years and beyond to surface peaks of photos taken same time+place...
Are you a data nerd who might be curious to try this with us? Say hi!
