okay what's the approach that folks have taken with sharing out family photos? I refuse to post my kids up on any social media site.

My current strategy is to just have a simple URL that I registered forward to a google photos album that specific people have access to. It works well enough, but I'm wondering what other people have figured out.

normal people use social media sites with private profiles

I mean, I get it, it's not great having your children's photos on Facebook's cloud. some kind of shared album via google/apple/whatever is a good alternative.

We just occasionally text pictures to our parents, but I'm pretty lazy with mine and they hate it. So I think it's working pretty well.

when my ex and I were together we used an ios app called Cluster. it’s a private photo sharing thing where you make albums and invite family or friends and anyone that’s a member of an album can view, download or add photos. i think it has permission levels too. it worked well

now I just text them though

my sister got my mom one of these because she never prints photos. the newest ones have an app you upload photos to which get thrown onto the frame. there’s also a dedicated email address that auto-uploads to the frame, if you email photos

neat idea, the real question will be whether my mom likes the frame and the cycling of photos without any real ability/desire for her to curate them. i sure as hell am not taking that job on, we print photos in this house

i use icloud photos shared albums with the "website" box ticked and send the link to whoever, but most of my friends use limited audience fb posts for their kids

My main irritation with doing anything on the social platforms was how the algorithm serves up stuff in the feed. I have no confidence that if I posted something that the people who I'd shared it would even see it in their timelines or conversely, friends who wouldn't want to see it would get it stuffed down their throats.

We ditched social media not long after my wife got an infertility diagnosis because of this. The algorithm knew we were interested in kids, so it just showed her baby photos all day, which was the last thing she wanted to see after we got an infertility diagnosis. We didn't want to inadvertently do that to someone else with our kid now that we finally have one.

my brother and parents are all in the apple ecosystem but ive also convinced them to use signal and i just send them to a group chat. same with MIL.

easiest way to convince normals to use signal is to say they dont compress photos and videos unlike every other service, + all the security stuff (that they don't care about)

hmmm i thought "high" used to be "full" and not compressed but reddit suggests its been that way for years, maybe i haven't noticed because im the one always sending and not receiving. oh well the quality is still significantly better than text messaging and nobody has complained

We got her to the ER and they got her hydrated and got some zofran in her, which will hopefully last until her body beats the virus back.

This poo poo is evil, can't be killed except with soap, bleach, or peroxide. Lasts up to 48 days on surfaces.

I'm gonna go design some bleach-resistant furniture to sell to parents. Don't steal my idea. Or do and give me a free one.

I wish relatives wouldn't give us dresses with glitter on them as gifts because while they look cute (spot the in law that only had boys and is vaguely frustrated about it), they shed glitter absolutely everywhere and I don't like the idea of washing them and pumping the goddamn stuff into the water to go choke a fish

I don't wanna be overconfident but so far, somehow, nobody else has gotten it yet. I'm hoping it turns out to have been a case of food poisoning. Cause I'm sure my immune system is no badass.

That's what you loving get for getting together in huge unmasked groups TBH. Have no idea how it's still a thing, last year *everyone* I knew who got together in large groups got some people infected with *something*, and a colleague's parent spent days in the hospital. If you (not you personally) can't be safe stop loving congregating.
