    Can you remove image uploading as an option? How about using a third party website for users to upload their image to then link to that to offset costs.

      I was going to mention something like this in another post that was concerned about the server slowing down. I particularly only use imgchest for my posts, as it replaced Imgur after their nsfw ban, and don’t see why we can’t limit uploads to that or other 3rd party services like catbox, imgpile, and such.

      Hell it could redirect to catbox.moe

      It works pretty good IMO

        You will have issues accessing Catbox/files on Catbox if you are connecting from the following countries or providers:

        The Australian government […] decided that Catbox was a terrorist propaganda spreading website

        the love of footy has overtaken the sensibilites of the British and Irish governments, and they have decided to implement an IP level block

        Sounds great.

        From a friend I’ve heard that they can’t access it via Tor, which is kinda sad. Under governments which are threatening LGBTQ+ people some may want some kind of protection looking at queer memes.
