Ok we Need a way to upload images for inline use in code so people stop hosting parts of their cool html posts on fucking DISCORD though

and NOT the clumsy draft trick

apparently imgur doesn't work either for some folks so i can't even use the image hosting site to host images????

I’ve used Imgur in the past for my posts, but I didn’t like it

Staff please :(

Until discord makes some change to how direct links to your images work which doesn’t mess up any of their stuff but does mess up any external embeds, which they could totally just do at literally any time

Or until they decide they’re going to delete old files if you’re not a nitro subscriber or something

which they also have no reason not to randomly just do at any time

Please do not use Discord as file storage. It is a terrible idea.

I say this as a Discord employee. My opinions aren't my employers but also

Discord is not a file host. It is a chat app. It is not designed to host files for use on other websites. It will fail, without question, more often than not, and you need to use something else.

discord is, to this day, one of the better malware hosting solutions

(which i think is also the google cloud cdn underpinning it? so hilariously, you can blame google for that malware hosting, to some level)

(i think it's really funny that they let their clients host malware with their cdn if they're big enough)
