One of the artworks from a residency in Japan that I'm most proud of - an oil painting on wood of some roofs in a Kyoto neighborhood.
With three little hidden visitors.

@briankrebs it already helps my sanity that I don't have to wonder about the agendas of the platform's owner - or how they wanna fleece me.

But so far I don't see enough people on here to switch completely for my art accounts. Instagram is the place to be still... but their algo is demanding insane amounts of content to not get nerfed. I'm not willing to do that.

@ina Mastodon and PixelFed are mentally relaxing. I never have to wonder about their agendas or secret changes in algorithms.

My Instagram worked OK for my artworks - until Meta decided they now only want videos. And I despise their UI. #PixelFed is already much better, despite bugs. It (and #Mastodon) accept high resolution images in formats I prefer.

But cross-instance sharing is still a hurdle.

On FB & Twitter I had the same experience as @TerryHancock

@pixelfed Coo. The simple style is great for readability.

That some stats are not "grounded" at 0 makes them a bit confusing/misleading.
