📷 Dear newcomers, if you plan to bulk-upload years worth of #Instagram or #Flickr photos, please consider tossing a coin to your admin if you can.

The server you're on is most likely run by a private individual, and its storage space for media files is not endless. Your donation helps your admin pay hosting costs and upgrade the server if needed.

"Flickr is a living social media environment, with up to 25 million images uploaded each day. The reality of the company’s being acquired by a number of different parent companies over the course of its 20-year lifetime...additionally brings to the forefront a stark case for working to ensure the availability of its contents into the long future."
