Imgur has pissed me off long enough that I decided to roll my own this summer. When all I need is a place to store stuff for easy linking, building a web frontend is pretty trivial.
Plus I’m not limited to whatever file type and size imgur decides.
(For those who don’t know, Imgur was invented by a user on reddit sick of the other image hosting sites until it eventually became what it was meant to replace)

And guess what, my site condones punching Nazis:
That tasty gif never gets old.
Boom! Knocked the fuck out.
I was not prepared for that dopamine. Thank you good cryptid
And it all comes full circle

Dang I actually remember the announcement post of Imgur on Reddit.
Out of curiosity, why build your own when CopyParty exists? Spin it up in Docker and call it a day.
To be honest you don’t need to either of them. You can just upload images to your own instance unless some instances have disabled image uploading?
Because I’m too old and crusty to use docker. Also, yet another hobby project because, apparently, I have too few unfinished ones.
