Update 1: This is an issue with cloudflare, we are having issues with the account that hosts the site, we are contacting cloudflare support about the issue.
Update 2: we have switched s3 providers and images should be working again, older images may be missing, we will have to do a merge with the old s3 storage backup into the new provider, we plan to do this soon, but all new images will work as expected, sorry for the issues and thanks for your patience and kindness while we were working on the fix
Well, it’s certainly doing a fantastic job then, isn’t it?
No images, no risk!
What I understand is that I look at posts with external images from before this hijacking was implemented, the images fucking load, I look at later posts going through this proxy, they don’t.
What I understand is that disabling this nonsense would immediately fix the issue, but the admins clearly have no interest in doing that.
What I understand is that after a week of the admins doing nothing to fix this, the realisation that they’re hijacking our urls, and the mutual lack of trust this has caused, this instance is dead.
There’s no point in fixing it at this point. Any reasonable user will have already migrated elsewhere.
Yeah, that’s clearly the message. They should pin it on the frontpage.
