@mike It's already evident that activity and engagement has grown since I stopped posting in early 2025, which is encouraging. It's also nice to be on a platform that isn't all AI junk and monetisation of basic functions, which is what FB is nowadays. Bluesky is still going OK, and Instagram has good reach, but there's not much science there.
Oct 15, 2026, 3:08 PM@markwitton I could never get the hang of Instagram. It seemed, when I was trying to use it, that it was simply not possible to upload an image from a computer — only to take photos and upload those from the phone.
@mike The desktop/web browser version still stinks. It at least now tells you why certain images can't be uploaded (aspect ratio is one reason) instead of giving generic error messages. It's clearly aimed at phone users, though.
