Hi, I was rummaging around and found this old lens. It might be of interest to some of you. 📷😎

@MightyPork we also have a 50gb sitemap file that describes every photo we uploaded, someone could do something interesting with that.
(cc @kity and @eq who were also asking about this stuff, see the thread)
@MightyPork they're all stored in warc files, so the full webpage with metadata/etc is there and is currently being ingested into the wayback machine.
i'm told people are currently interested in working on plans for indexing/better ease of access in general, but i'm not sure what those are, sorry.

hey everybody! just wanted to let people know that thanks to everybody who contributed to #500pieces we saved THREE TERABYTES of open, cc-licensed images from 500px over only two days!

You can view the hard work of the volunteers at the IA collection, including dozens of people who heard about it specifically from mastodon. Thanks to @eq for providing the initial mastodon call for action!
Of course, and I've been thinking about this, if you are developing film the thing everyone usually forgets is negative sleeves.

@itdm5j21
Awesome! Thank you! Hopefully I'll have results to show 😄
In the early days of 'Digital' I produced a mini series of photos titled 'On Red'. This photo is titled 'Tea Bagged On Red'.

Reclaiming RSS
“Before Twitter, before algorithmic timelines filtered our reality for us, before surveillance capitalism, there was RSS: Really Simple Syndication … As we move away from the centralised web to the peer web, it’s time to rediscover, re-embrace, and reclaim RSS.”
~1 million Creative Commons images on 500px.com are dissapearing tomorrow!

📣 PSA 📣
Please note we're not going anywhere, we are here to stay.
Pixelfed is a good piece of software and we will likely deploy an instance while KEEPING the main photog.social instance online.
We're not shutting anything down or going anywhere 😉
Just going to expand our users options a little as things develop :)
Small thoughts.
Federation of anything is a socio-political governance challenge. Look at Europe.
In any dispute there will be other realities you haven’t thought of, hopes that you have overlooked.
How this is discussed, how people listen to each other, how creative solutions are sought out, defines the capacity of humans to create real change.
The alternative is that innovation is just us moving the world’s problems from one platform to another.
📣 PSA 📣
We have enabled invites for ALL of our users.
We recently closed registrations due to a large number of spam accounts being created. However, we WILL send invites to those who ask (there's a note on the home page 😉 )
Now ALL of our users can send invites to those looking for an account. No need to e-mail the admin team if you know someone who want's to register.
You can generate an invite link by clicking 'Edit Profile' then clicking on the 'Invite People' link.
@m Welcome.
That's pretty much how web 2.0 pushed out the earlier federated groupware systems.
Ways to work against this are:
* Make it easy to block bad instances
* Discourage very large instances with thousands of users, which will be the most attractive for colonization.
* Promote general awareness of the kinds of tactics which have been used in the past against federated systems
* Encourage users to value community above convenience. Colonizers will try to dazzle users with convenience and shiny/trendy features.
* Create a lot of noise if there is any company trying to subvert open protocols with their own extensions.
* Make it easy for users to switch instances, aka "nomadic identity" so that they can "vote with their feet" if an instance starts adopting bad policies. The difficulty of moving from one instance to another is definitely something which colonizers will try to exploit.
