Inspired by Hank Green’s fun new timeline of photos from the Artemis II mission, I wrote up an answer to a question that's more pertinent these days than it may seem: Why are the Artemis II photos on Flickr? https://anildash.com/2026/04/30/artemis-photos-flickr/

    @anildash I used to be on Flickr. It has gone away from it's web 2.0 roots. It's nice they are hosting images of Artemis II. The rest of us who hosted there have varying opinions. Mine is negative.

    @anildash Not enough characters here to be unhip to shout how much I love flickr https://cogdogblog.com/2024/02/flickr-at-20/ Worth mentioning they never wrecked their public API, allowing amateurs like me to create my own tools/sites. And so early they were with tags when we swooned over "folksonomy". There's an almost infinite spiral of niche interest groups (e.g. for rusty mailboxes? Vegefitti?). Note: Flickr Commons long preceded SmugMug

    @anildash That was a really interesting read, thank you for writing and sharing. In a near full circle moment, the photos from MozFests past are all on Flickr for very similar reasons.
