Well that’s disturbing to hear. I figured if they’ve been around that long they’d have worked out effective tools to combat that stuff. But I suppose that might be a naive assumption, it must be a constant issue for image hosting services.

That being said we would like input in what image sites we will be whitelisting.

I’d like to suggest postimages(dot)org. I’ve been using that site since leaving reddit/imgur over the summer. They seem to be a good free service (although they do offer a premium tier) and according to their ‘about us’ section they’ve been operating for 20 years.

This makes distinguishing between nested comments much easier IMO. That’s been my biggest gripe with the default UI so major thanks to the dev!

This makes me feel pretty good about my decision to choose lemmy.world as my first instance. There is zero reason to believe Hexbear users will engage in good faith, in fact, the evidence presented in this statement clearly illustrates that they intend to troll and generally derail discussions. Preemptive defederation in this case is the prudent move. Keep up the good work, Admins.

Okay, this is going to significantly increase my Lemmy usage. Thank you so much to the dev(s)! Between having an “old.lemmy.world” now and Memmy (which does a great job of replicating Apollo) I’m able to almost perfectly duplicate how I liked to browse reddit. Now I’m just hoping someone develops a RES (LES) extension someday!
