What's the deal with posting images from imgbb?
Got my account banned because I posted a photo that I uploaded to imgbb.com with the reason being "blacklisted URL".

In the past imgbb was used to post CSAM to some communities so some instances remove links to images hosted on it (or I guess ban the user in the instance you were on)
Edit: seems like that was lemmy.world, reach out to their community team and ask to be unbanned if you want your account unbanned, seems like they did that for someone else in the past

This post probably should go in !support@lemmy.world and perhaps an admin might see it.
It also seems strange to me to immediately permaban someone for this, especially as I also can't find this blacklist anywhere.

True, there should be a topic on this and at the very least, give sample alternatives for those less tech savvy. We should try to do better than Reddit, especially with communicating; something they were notoriously bad at.
