    I built https://horizon.pics as a privacy friendly alternative to Imgur. It has no ads or third party trackers and allows optional server side encryption. It’s compatible with ShareX, Apple Shortcuts and GNOME with our custom client.

    i’m out of the loop here: is imgur in kahoots with reddit? i know that imgur has been the go-to hosting solution for redditors for ages, but are the companies intertwined? do i need to boycott imgur as well?

      Not really, I’ve almost never used Imgur but cause Lemmy isn’t as “powerful” as Reddit, posting images directly into Lemmy leads to more work from the server running the instance and using a image hosting website cam help to reduce unnecessary traffic, then why not use the best option for it?
