Hi guys, if you happen to have #Instagram, would you mind watching this reel to the end and interacting with it please? IG's AI thinks I am making content for fake followers, and I'm in IG jail now. So I need them to know real people are interacting with my stuff. www.instagram.com/p/DFA1ER_N2R4/

Genuine qu, not trying to troll. Also remember I'm from UK and not US so may be getting a different take. But why is Biden pardoning his son good? Wasn't there actual evidence of wrong doing, even if it being brought to light was for politics? I mean it's very different to just making up charges.

Does anyone on Bluesky actually know what the #algorithm is? I have a steady stream of followers, but they seem to just follow and that's it. I've generally asked questions like the one quoted and I only have one person that I know liking it, and no replies and no answers. bsky.app/profile/wher...

Question for #photography peeps on here. Anyone have experience with shooting both #FullFrame and #MFT / #M43? I know in theory, ignoring DOF, the same exposure settings with higher ISO is likely to have more noise, but want to know about whether it is noticeable for real world shooting / viewing.

Get the feeling this is just as bad as X, but on the other end of the political spectrum? There's vitriol and abusive language on here directed at those who voted Trump, calling them cockroaches. Political disagreements are expected, but dehumanising language is the beginning of something worse.

If you see this, repost a favourite photo of the sky that you've taken recently. Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) in the night sky above London. #Comet #C2023A3 #TsuchinshanATLAS #Astrophotography #BigBen #London #ElizabethTower #NightPhotography

I'd have thought the increase in users would make this place more "social", but sadly doesn't seem to be so. Interactions and conversations feel so forced and contrived. I've only had what feels more like human contact with people I already know from outside of here. Otherwise it seems to sterile.

The aurora streaks across the night sky above a wooden cabin and a treeline behind the cabin in a snow covered landscape.

Sunset over the city of Athens. The sky glows orange with the lights of the city turns on below. I'm the centre of the photograph, rising above the rest of the city, is the Acropolis and the Parthenon.

People navigating the Shibuya Scramble Crossing in Tokyo, as seen from the observation level of Shibuya Sky.

The ruins of one of the towers of Hadleigh Castle at sunrise. The sky is a gentle gradient of orange-yellow, turning more blue towards the top of the photograph. The sun shines through one of the windows in the wall of the ruined tower.

@faustochou.eatnews.net If you follow the two accounts I tagged in my quoted post, you should be able to interact with me (and others) who are mainly over on the Fediverse like Mastodon.

@madalyn.bsky.social Hi Madalyn, could I ask if you could help test something please? We were talking about how "fragmented" communities are. I have been told if you follow @ap.brid.gy on Bluesky, it will allow people to interact with you from the Fediverse like Mastodon. Can we test this please?

Howard Cheng @wherehowardgoes.bsky.social · 16/11/2024

So, I've just followed @ap.brid.gy as apparently I need to follow that account before I can interact with bridged / mirrored #Mastodon accounts on here. So let me test another post mentioning my bridged / mirrored Mastodon account: @Howard.mstdn.wherehowardgoes.com.ap.brid.gy.

I always love #London at #Christmastime. All the decorations look so pretty, and the dropping temperature makes these crisp winter days and nights, coupled with all the #Christmas decorations, really heart-warming. Shot with the #LeicaMP240 mounted with a #LightLensLab 50 mm f/2 #SpeedPanchroII.

Three ladies standing by the Christmas tree at London's Waterloo Place taking photographs with the tree. One of the ladies wears white whilst her two companions wear black, making her look a little like a main character.

#ThrowbackThursday post to 2022 when a photograph I shot was published in a fashion mag... and not just Harper's Bazaar, but specifically the KZ edition lol. But Harper's Bazaar is Harper's Bazaar... I'll take that hahaha. #WhereHowardGoes #Photography #Photojournalism #Reportage

A screenshot of an article from Harper's Bazaar KZ featuring my photograph of the coffin of Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on its way from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall for the lying-in-state.
