Did you see that in image metadata or something? I did not upload it to Imgur, but it’s possible that this file was on Imgur at some point.
EDIT: Looks like the app I was using did this for me when I believed I was uploading the image directly to Burggit. Not great… I have removed the imgur link now.
Oh, you are right… I think I now understand what happened. I uploaded the image from a mobile device using a reader app. I thought that uploading an image would work as it does in a web browser, that it would upload it directly to the burggit server. I guess what happened is the app automatically hosted it on imgur and put in the link for me.
The app did not make it clear that this would happen. Somewhat burned by this experience…
Yeah I never signed in to imgur at any point so if anything they’ll block API access for the app or something. At least I didn’t post something seriously spicy
> uploaded on imgur
I don’t think it’s a good idea to upload stuff like this on imgur…
Edit: I think they no longer allow NSFW posts in general: https://help.imgur.com/hc/en-us/articles/14415587638029-Imgur-Terms-of-Service-Update

The title URL goes to imgur, that’s where the image is being hosted. Did you not paste https://lemmy.kya.moe/imgproxy?src=i.imgur.com%2f5uP4LXH.png into the URL field when making this post?

The image is cached on burggit, so it should probably be fine. Not sure if imgur would block you or something though.
