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?

I know Imgur started as a tool to help Reddit but it’s grown into its own community now and runs aggressive ads. At least according to my ad blocker.
I think they banned porn or something like that. Never a popular move on the internet.
