crossposted from my code account, but with some tweaks to make it make sence here...

Within the next few months or so, I'll need to do some maintenance on my OC's pages to swap hosting for some of the images

For refrence, Discord is changing the way links work so that hotlinking (aka hosting an image on discord to embed elsewhere) won't work & any links to said images will break. The files themselves will remain up, but any links to them going forward won't last more than a day AKA. not long enough for long-term page decor
(post with more info + some alternatives)

There's a lot of images I need to catch here (mostly non-oc images) and since Ik i'm terrible at catching mistakes or details i've missed if you see an image that's broken by next year that's probably the reason why

edit: also adding a character tag: code update needed - if you see this it's for my personal use to note any characters that need an update to their codes be it they have a lot of images that need a new host, or I want to redo them later

Euuughhhhhh I don’t use discord for code photos, but I used it in the past for sending wips and idk I just don’t like the direction things are going nowadays :/

Ik... I'm probably gonna keep using it for phone-to-pc file transfers & i already swapped most of my code images to other things. but it just sucks that a good chunk of old posts of mine are gonna be contextless

Discord keeps going downhill rip T_T

honestly :(

tbh every site & service seems to be on a linkrot speedrun this decade
