The DRPFD site publishes only one image a day, as long as there is an image waiting to be published.
The site is my latest attempt to send photos into the world without having to submit to the corporate world of social media 2.0: No apps. No data tracking. No bait-and-switch. No subscription fees. A realm set apart from likes and shares and the unrelenting pace of the attention economy.
The aim of the site is to allow anyone to receive the content in a variety of formats. The webpage is the most obvious way in, but you can also subscribe via email, subscribe via RSS, or follow it via ActivityPub (such as on Mastodon).
I queue images up intermittently, but the site slows down and takes its time. It will only publish one image a day at most, because sometimes we need less content rather than more.
The site is an evolution of my previous Disposable Evidence project, which is now retired.
