I’ll be honest, as someone who would typically post 10-20 photos at a time on Instagram, I am finding the four photo limit on Mastodon difficult. But, it’s also a good creative challenge. I’m forced to look at what I have and make choices. Which four should I include in this post? How can I best tell a story with what I have available? Maybe it’s good to embrace some restriction as part of the creative process.
