    I keep wondering why images aren’t loading and it’s because they’re hosted by Reddit? I blocked them ages ago but why are we using Reddit’s CDN for Lemmy posts’ images?

      • My instance does not accept me uploading photos.
      • Imgur is blocked in the UK.
      • Imgbb is too fucking slow when uploading.

      That leave me with very few options.

          Because it might be porn. If websites are found to be serving 18+ content without rigorous Orwellian ID checks they can be fined out their fucking arse.

          A lot of websites have just blocked the UK entirely instead of dealing with that shit.

          I heared that Catbox is struggling financially.

          I use it from time to time, but I am not fully dependent on it. Because if it shut down at any time, all the memes, photos and videos becomes instantly lost media.

          You might feel like catbox will stay here forever, but looking at my internet experience, nothing stays forever.

            Embrace the zen.

            Draw your art in the sand of the Catbox.

            And then let it flow away, to start a new.
