Having another go with @glass.photo — I don't know if it's my instagram replacement, given it costs 💰, but it's a lovely app nonetheless and a great way to get back to just enjoying photography without all the Meta garbage. Is it better than Flickr? Not sure. You don't have to pay to browse Flickr!

It's not expensive, but the way, especially if you pay annually. But still, I wonder how much its growth has been limited (or if that's even a goal for them)? And, at a quick glance, it seems like it's about 98% men. Does seem odd though that there's no basic free tier.

aint that the rub. "We want a chronological app with no ads just photos!". "OK, here you go" "It's a bit boring". I'm not sure what the middle ground is, but I like the ethos behind Foto and hoping they find their feet.

Well, when I say boring, I mean there's not enough features yet (I forget what specifically bothered me), and there was very little conversation. There's a lot of conversation on Glass, and it has a solid feature set as an older app in a more advanced phase, so... yeah!
