@tchambers @paninid @anildash Same. I remember hearing why they decided not to do it right now, but I can’t remember what it was, and I don’t want to misspeak.

@paninid Flickr has some of the best photos. Some old but still good.
Searxng has Flickr as a source for images and I see some good images on there.

@paninid @anildash I have been a happy, paying customer of Flickr for at least 12 years.

@paninid Does that mean it doesn’t suck any more? After its first acquisition/transition, it sucked super bad.
