Toot

Written by Matt Payne on 2025-01-24 at 17:01

I'm excited to be here on Mastodon! Here's my #introduction - I'm a 5th Generation #Colorado native and have been doing full-time #photography for a while. I cut my teeth in photography while #climbing the highest 100 mountains in Colorado. I love #LandscapePhotography and co-lead an international photo competition - NLPA - we're dedicated to realistically edited #naturephotography. I am looking forward to engaging with everyone here, away from the cesspool that Meta has become! Cheers!

@mattpaynephoto

Welcome! These are beautiful. I noticed a number of photographers, particularly of landscapes, have joined/introduced themselves in the last few days. Is there a movement away from another platform? Your work will be much appreciated here.

Written by Murray Livingston on 2025-01-24 at 19:27

@mizblueprint @mattpaynephoto Yes, there's a small group of us that made the move about 6 months ago, and now another bigger wave has joined too. Mostly in reaction to the further degradation happening over on meta platforms. There's a nice community in landscape photography, so quite a few of us know each other :)

@cmurray @mattpaynephoto Yeah Matt welcome to the sane corner of the Internet. Smart people are stepping away from the stranglehold the billionaires have on Big Tech.

This platform is incredible because you literally create your own algorithm simply by following people and hashtags. No AI/LLM garbage unless someone else gets faked out and posts something thinking it is real.

Your #photography is beautiful.

Wow, i love these pictures.

The first picture reminds me of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Ring-Movie, especially the scene when Frodo and Sam moved forward to Mordor. At the end of Part 1?

@mattpaynephoto

Hi

Welcome !

The rules of #mastiquette are simple

  1. Never publish a photo of an éléphant named Barney: you'd lose 7 points.

  1. You can pushlish picture of forest only odd weeks, except in November: even weeks only. 3 points

  1. Sunday after 16GMT, only connect if you have your pants on.

  1. If you have a border colley, you must be with it 10 times longer than your time on mastodon , per day.

  1. Never explain, always complain, but in peto.

6.never trust absurde rules.

@mattpaynephoto welcome to the Fédiverse 🤗

Will you be using a "photography" account on a pixelfed instance too in addition to your Masto account, or just keep it stupid simple and use Masto for everything Fédiverse/blog/internet ?

@mattpaynephoto ah, and I see on your website :

Follow and Engage with me on Social Media

Facebook

Instagram

Bluesky

Twitter / X

YouTube

LinkedIn

Threads

So you have other non-fedi presence - in addition to your website.

Are you discarding Twitter any time soon (possibly via #HelloQuitX) ?

@mattpaynephoto re: Bluesky (or Mastodon, for that matter) did you consider using a single account (on either network, but likely Bluesky) and bridge it to the other network with Bridgy?
