I use Flickr because it reaches an international audience who aren't in Brisbane/Australia ruining precious locations with graff and fire extinguishers. I can upload anything I want and no one will see it - - I uploaded my orchestra hall months before it was dozed and no one followed me there... I was really surprised by that.
I do, however, still have a certain amount of decency in not over publicising locations. Those who are marked under family on my account know this

I've heard way too many stories of people being busted through Instagram due to careless uploading of rooftops. Why just this week I was informed a building owner had CCTV of someone in a hoodie busting into a keybox to access a rooftop.

Instagram is out of control. Besides, the quality is simply shocking.

flickrs good for sharing in forums easily and being able to set different levels of privacy
if you're wanting to reach mass amounts of people you don't know maybe instagram is for you (seems like FB without friends and candy crush to me haha)
i think tumblr is good if you want to put a spiel in with your pics, more like a blog, if i didnt have forums like this to ramble on between pics I think i'd like tumblr

Yeh , CAFECSK on the private thing I only just turned that on this morning because certain family members found out what I was doing and lets say they weren't happy aha. And then certain family members found my account. Spo its just on private until I figure out how to get them off my trail

Agree with KTO. Instagram quality sucks major donkey balls.

wundos, if your family isn't happy with what you're doing, it might not be the worst thing to heed their advice.

Just edited title to make it more relevant and there is another thread called Instagram to make it less confusing.

Am I the only person left who doesn't post urban exploration photos on publicly viewable social media? #keepingsecrets

I don't either, never really saw much point in doing so.
