why are you using the internet archive as an image host?!?

[-] [email protected] 36 points 6 months ago

Seeing enough

broken/removed/deleted Reddit/Tumblr/Twitter images/videos and then
Lemmy instances removing all their user-uploaded content last year because someone uploaded trigger-warning content and then
seeing my animated GIFs and high-resolution PNGs turn into pixelated, static, medium-size WEBPs after uploading them to Lemmy?

It made me fucking crazy.

Also, my name is lars and I’m a digital hoarder. I’m open to suggestions.

Yeah I hate how Lemmy fucks up gifs, mine just converts them to jpgs lol.

I like how it became a hoarders anonymous meeting at the end.

I mean, I get what you're saying, but the Internet Archive has limited resources as it is and doesn't appreciate being used as a CDN. They've said as much themselves on various occasions

It only momentarily loads for me. My guess is they are limiting its bandwidth(?) I could be wrong.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

You mean it doesn’t immediately load like other posts?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Nevermind it works now! For me it would load then show a broken icon

[-] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Yuck. I have seen that sometimes, too.
