A post getting removed because someone threatened legal action is not the same as using an image host that goes under because no one visits their site to see their ads to pay for hosting it or because they arbitrarily purged their content or changed their link format like imgur has. Unless Lemmy hosts it’s own images it will be at risk of being purged like has happened many times over.
Okay, and then you get fined for violating your franchise contract that requires you use these machines.
