    I upvoted and chuckled, but please use Imgur or similar links while the entire ecosystem is being hit by the Reddit hug of death :)

      any good imgur alternatives? I know they’re doing similar shenanigans to reddit to prep for IPO

        imgchest has a layout that’s the most similar to imgur. I use it for archiving my reddit posts and other needs where the “filmstrip” layout would be useful. The rest are quite good too, but don’t have a filmstrip layout as far as I am aware.

        Sorry, I don’t know. Hopefully you’ll get an answer from somebody more knowledgeable than me

        Image hosting seems like a fairly expensive endeavor, especially if your anticipated user base is just linking to your server from another site. I have a hard time thinking this could be done sustainably without requiring some sort of subscription on the uploader’s end, unfortunately.

        My understanding of the imgur situation is that you should actually be fine for now, provided that you’re signed into an account when you upload, and not using it for explicit content.

        …Though I hope you have an account that you already registered some time ago, before they started requiring a phone number, if you didn’t want to share your phone with them.
