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.

    I’ve not looked into it fully but there is that pixelfed which is a part of the fediverse, don’t know how it works for public images and whatnot though since it touts itself as a secure platform where you can choose who can see your stuff kind of deal
