Every time when a YouTube video is embedded in Lemmy, a bot appears, suggesting to use Front-end Piped (or another) instead of YT, which is certainly recommended, due to YouTube's inherent privacy concerns.
However, then it is not understandable, why in the case of images Imgur links are happily allowed, which is infinitely worse in terms of privacy, which shares user and usage data with the worst existing advertising companies, which makes it in little less than spyware.
As a suggestion I present 2 alternatives, which in addition to, as EU products, strictly adhere to the GDPR standard and even more.
As the main FileCoffee service, this, apart from images, supports ALL types of files, whether multimedia, video, documents, presentations or texts. Supports 15 MB/file and with optional registration to also use it as a personal host (100% free with mail, password) up to 30 MB/file, encrypted. Inclusions script one click for ShareX on Windows or MagicCap on Linux or Mac
The second is vgy.me, also privacy oriented, but supports only images, encryption, 20 MB/image, EXIF Data are removed, API for web pages.
Replace Mb in your post with MB.
Edit: since some people say that it should be MiB, here is text from file.coffee website:
As you can see, megabytes, not mebibytes
Well, acshually, bit doesn't have a metric symbol and 'b' is defined as barn. So Mb would be a megabarn.
Edit: And to be even more nitpicking: If the image size is defined as binary, it should be MiB (mebibyte) since "mega" is defined as base 10.
Oh you mean MiB as in mebibel?
Ha, good one! Got me interested, how the standards bodies handle something like that. Found this in the Wikipedia article for byte:
Somewhat disappointing. "There's a conflict but it's fine".
