Comment on lemm.ee plans for mitigating image upload abuse

No, but there’s nothing stopping you from using direct links from imgur, in traditional fashion.

It’s a little bit convoluted, though. You have to post the image, then hover over and select “Get share links”, and then pick the image for BB code (forums). This has the [img] tags at the start and finish, but importantly it has the direct link to the image file. If you use this on lemmy then it will load in the instance, rather than directing to imgur itself.

Imgur is deleting images over a certain age posted anonymously. And they might continue to decrease the number of images they keep to try to be closer to profitability. So that will be bad for longevity of content.

That solution sounds a bit too complicated.
