But it’s not, they’re not doing actual piracy there, they’re talking about it, and that’s very much not illegal

Time to let go

Just tried to create an account on fedia.io, which is the biggest of the mbin instances (at just about a bit above 4K users, so not THAT much), and it just could NOT take the registration, all i get is “429 Too Many Requests”, after multiple tries. I suspect that says the instance is woefully underpowered for the traffic it’s handling

But that’s what the marketers are selling, “this will replace a lot of workers!” and it just cannot

Just noticed that said user had posted numerous memes here, and now they added a post description complaining about this to each and every one of them

This is by no means a vital service, but Imgur. Not the image hosting part itself, although the multiple self-hosted alternatives available are mostly aimed at photographs and surprisingly very few if any to memes and reactions for chats, forums and social media. On the other hand, the particular use case of sharing memes and meme dumps is not being fulfilled by anything else at the moment. Go to Imgur even on it’s current sorry decayed state and at any time you’ll find multiple people sharing image galleries, usually of up to 50 memes at a time, sometimes more. Lemmy, Mastodon and Discord servers try to fill that gap but right now they can’t.
