I do #sysadmin work for a living, and I find it just fun enough to do it in my free time for personal use. My Facebook account has been disabled for years, so I can keep using Messenger for a lot of friends who refuse to switch. I also have an Instagram mostly to find out local events and for watching the occasional brain rot.
But Meta sucks now more than ever. I have photos. Should I blog them like I've done for major events, sharing them in a longform text format (like my Canadian genealogy/eclipse trip)? Or, should I bite the bullet and start my own PIxelfed instance for $6/month plus S3-compatible storage fees, so I can easily do one-offs (like the cat being stupid)?
Not sure how to proceed here. I'm not a photographer, but I like to pretend I am. I blog several times a year.
These poll results are nonbinding because I can't commit to anything.

@colin I had a pixelfed instance, but at the end, I deleted and decided to post everything on the blog instead.
