I just deleted my account with Flickr because they censored my protest-art (you can see it on my blog). They claimed I was harassing and abusing other members by having it posted.

My protest-art has the words “Summertownsun sucks”. I put this artwork up in protest of Summertownsun complaining that i was infringing on their copyrighted work. They said I was posting images that they own. So flickr removed the images. But the images are actually in the public domain. So I protested Summertownsun’s actions by creating a piece of artwork and posting it on Flickr.

Then Flickr, in all its controlling, tightwad glory, removed that image too, and sent me an email which said, ”

Hi dazzlecat,   In joining Flickr, you agreed to abide by the Terms of  Service and Community Guidelines. Specifically, you must  not abuse, harass, threaten, impersonate or intimidate  other Flickr members  . We’ve removed the content, “SummertownSun Publishing Sucks!”, from your photostream. Please note that similar  activity may result in the termination of your account  without warning.   Regards,   Omar  ”

So what really happened here? The simple fact is that Flickr censored my artwork!!!

I sent out an email to all my contacts on Flickr letting them know I was deleting my account and why. Now I’m going to have to make another piece of protest-art called Flickr Sucks!

When Yahoo! brought Flickr I remember bloggers at that time kicking up a fuss re having to use Yahoo! ID to sign in, and the downfall of this.

The reply was: its not going to happen.

Now it has. They misled their audience and a possible breach of contract (for those with pro accounts). It was only a matter of time, and the locking in of your data makes a move difficult.

Hey Thomas, how long does this page take to load?

http://www.flickr.com/people/thomashawk/contacts/

My count was 20 seconds. It doesn’t take a long time because Flickr’s engineering sucks or because they have too many servers — it takes a long time because you have 5,000 contacts. And Flickr has millions of users. That’s a big contacts table (or tables).

BTW, I tried to get to zooomr.com twice today. Both times the home page (the home page!) took more than 30 seconds to load. Now I can’t get there at all. Makes your insults of the Flickr staff’s engineering skills look pretty stupid.

having been an “old skool” flickr user myself – i just couldnt get myself to use Yahoo ID…in fact i just didnt have one – shame on them to assume that most people already have one!

Anyways, fortunately for me – my flickr id was available with Yahoo!

One further thought, a possible solution to your profile problem (wish I'd thought of it before posting my last comment). You can get Firefox running under two different profiles at once

And since each profile uses it's own set of cookies, you can be effectively logged into Flickr, Yahoo, Google, whatever under multiple accounts at the same time, which is kind of nice.

I agree. Neither move impacts me very much, but it still seems like a stupid move and they offer a shoddy justification, because the people it DOES impact are the Flickr users that contribute the most to the community.

If it really only impacts less than 1% of photos and users as they claim, how much of a resource issue can it really be? What benefit does the community get from these changes?

It just shows the boneheadedness of Yahoo; despite all the investments they make in the social web, they clearly don't understand it, at all.
