That’s literally what a proxy is. We do know it is because the url is going to the lemmynsfw server. That’s all the proxy has to do to provide privacy. From then on it can literally do whatever, as long as you’re not hitting the third party server directly.
The proxy isn’t to protect images you upload. It’s to protect other people from you. You have so little understanding here it’s laughable. Fuck off.
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.
