Is there any good alternative to imgur for uploading screenshots? (beehaw.org)

I mainly use imgur to upload screenshots using sharex, would appreciate being pointed in the direction of any alternative.

Some instances/servers are currently not capable of uploads larger than ~100kb, so a good image CDN is desired.

I also feel like lots of people uploading images directly to an instance's servers put a lot more strain on them - especially at a time where most servers are experiencing serious growing pains and may not really have the funds to keep expanding their storage. They're not ad supported like places like Reddit are.

I think it would be courteous of us to try and spread it out a bit and use services specifically intended for and set up for image hosting.
