Is Flickr Still Useful?

I would like to post photos on a site that is accessible to others but that is A) somewhat respectful of personal information (i.e. nothing owned by Facebook); and B) is not too silly looking (Imgur). Is there any good option, or is Flickr still worthwhile? I don’t mind if the site charges a reasonable fee. Thank you.

I had a Flickr account years ago. Literally just logged in for the first time in a long time after reading this post. Everything I ever uploaded has gone. Did it stop for a while and restart?

They deleted all but a 1000 photos a few years ago…giving 6 months notice to users.

I don’t think they actually did that, or not to very many people, they just threatened to. If the account hadn’t been signed in to in 10 years, then maybe it was on the list for purging.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.
