    Seeing enough

    • broken/removed/deleted Reddit/Tumblr/Twitter images/videos and then
    • Lemmy instances removing all their user-uploaded content last year because someone uploaded trigger-warning content and then
    • seeing my animated GIFs and high-resolution PNGs turn into pixelated, static, medium-size WEBPs after uploading them to Lemmy?

    It made me fucking crazy.

    Also, my name is lars and I’m a digital hoarder. I’m open to suggestions.

      Yeah I hate how Lemmy fucks up gifs, mine just converts them to jpgs lol.

      I like how it became a hoarders anonymous meeting at the end.

      I mean, I get what you’re saying, but the Internet Archive has limited resources as it is and doesn’t appreciate being used as a CDN. They’ve said as much themselves on various occasions

      It only momentarily loads for me. My guess is they are limiting its bandwidth(?) I could be wrong.
