Between this and the ongoing changes on Twitter, and upcoming changes on Reddit, I hope it's becoming ever more clear that we can't rely on profit-driven corporations when it comes to maintaining our public commons.
"Imgur, an image-hosting site that has been one of the web's go-to spots for linking hi-res images since 2010 [...] intends to remove "explicit images" and "old, unused, and inactive content" as of May 15."
And as the fediverse continues to take off, it would be really worth looking into moving to a smaller instance, maybe even starting your own* with a few friends or family.
The lesson here really should be not letting power concentrate in the hands of a few people.
@gatewayy@mastohost Eh, definitely not cheating. I've recently moved my side projects to a self-hosted instance of https://caprover.com. (A mix of Docker and Heroku.)
Messing around with your VPS is fun, but you'll get to a point where you just want to get things done.
