I bought some Amber Muscatel Oolong Tea from Taiwan.
It's about $50 per 10g. Insanely expensive and I haven't even tried it yet. I'm trying to find a specific tea I've wanted to get ever since I've last tasted it back 10 years ago. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug
I have gotten more interaction with pixelfed than with Instagram.
I have more followers in 1 year on pixelfed than 4 years on Instagram.
About 60% of my followers are only fans bots and the other 30% are people I know. The last 10% are organic followers who like my photos. I don't do short form videos so I don't have any lasting engagement.
I have advertised my pixelfed I think twice on the fediverse. But not any more than that.
If you want to have the community, I've heard that flickr is probably the best. Many people use it and it's photography focused.
Instagram is taken over by short form videos. If you're not doing that or making really really good photos in unique areas, then you'll max out at 2-3 hundred followers.
Everything will be jammed and everything will be MitMed.
Unless you're very well funded against a state, you don't have a real chance.
Plus meshtastic has no forward secrecy. It's already vulnerable to store and decrypt attacks.
