Exactly!

A link directly to the image file, so you don’t have to visit the site to see the image, avoiding another page load and advertising.

It allows you to embed the image as well.

Also, easy downloading if you want to save the image.

Can you go more in-depth about trackerware? After looking around, I found Post Images to be the one I like the most.

I use Mullvad VPN at all times, so I am not too worried about tracking, but I would like to know if it might be a bigger issue than I think it is.

Thanks for the link!

I really like PostImages.

It has:

• Direct linking
• Anonymous
• Deleting posted image even without an account if you saved the link
• Auto expiring images
• 24Mb uploads
• Batch uploads (1000)

Yeah, it feels like instagram. Each time I upload an image, I have to remember to turn off comments and select unlisted.

Good find!

Wow, that is a classic looking site. It looks really close to what I am looking for.

Section 3-4 of the Terms of Use seems a little strict, but shouldn’t be a problem for me since I don’t upload memes and copyright content.

The 20 megabyte file limit is very generous!

I was trying out PixelFed, which seems like the best solution so far. I was able to direct link to a file quite easily. (Slime)

The only thing I am worried about is that they might not approve of direct linking. I checked the Terms of Use page, I couldn’t find anything that said not to direct link. Do you think it is allowed? or should I look for a different service?

That’s what I would like too.

I like that it is federated, but I wish I didn’t have to make an account. This might be the best option though.

It is one of the default KDE wallpapers done by Louis Durrant for a competition KDE was holding. He titled it, “Safe Landing”.
