Anyone using Glass.photo? If yes, what is your experience with it? I was not caring much at first, but now they launched public profiles and I suddently got interested.

I am thinking that it could replace my blot.im site..

@pcora I wrote a post about this and I don't think that Glass will make it. The lack of desktop and tablet support, not to mention lack of Android support, and the rather spartan setup might just kill it before it grows up.

@mikka well, I joined it. As flickr sucks nowadays and I wanted a place to share my photos. I’ll write a post with my first though and what I thing it misses in the next few days and link here. They got me with the addition of public profiles and I am hopeful that nice new features are coming soon. Let’s see..

@pcora Cool! Let me know how it goes. I am always looking for better places to put my photos. Especially now, with the iPhone 13 Pro and more Macro work...

@mikka @pcora if one stops paying, do they release the username for other person to take? Or if I decided to return to the platform I can keep my username?

@mikka @pcora I found the answer on their FAQ. They keep the username for a while and then they remove the entire account and free the username.

@otaviocc I cancelled and my images do not serve anymore, but this might just be for external pictures. Or I ran into the username reclaim (@mikka is a somewhat popular name).

@otaviocc yeah, in the FAQ it says that it’s up for several months. I am not sure if that is new or not. So far, I am dissatisfied with the service. Not sure if I will keep it. I might end up giving in and sticking with Flickr and Instagram for now..

@pcora I know for sure I don't want to use Instagram (but I won't delete my accout). I'm going back to Flickr.

@otaviocc I’ll probably follow along and use Flickr too. I started posting there again already and it’s going fine. As for instagram, I have my reasons to post. And it won’t be my main source. It’s Micro.blog first, then syndicate to other places. Btw: oi! tbm sou brasileiro!!

@pcora glass.photo/medimikka is gone, well ahead of 9 months. But that's OK, it was worth a try. Just makes me appreciate Flickr even more.

@mikka I’ll see how mine goes. Subscription will expire in a few weeks. But it also made me use Flickr more again
