ello is really weird
like theyre trying to like monetize Creation which is kind of good i guess if youre a freelance artist
but it also makes a bunch of posts just feel like ads
@kitoconnell not really. i just use it to post my photos because they look reallllly nice all large and HQ. but there aren't many people on it (as far as i can tell)
the site still exists though. but theyre obviously grasping at ways to make a profit
@agaric I really wanted that place to work and even tried to bring the media outlet I was working for back then onto the site
@kitoconnell it has some flaws as a genuine social media network i feel like (the whole site loads super slow it seems, among other things) but its definitely a nice way to post photos/gifs/stuff like that
@agaric i have an account on ello from back when they wanted to be a facebook alternative. I noticed years later that they turned it into this artist community thing, but never used that. I'm too lazy to delete the account..
@agaric ello still is a thing?
