What is the best anonymous image hosting site? (sh.itjust.works)

For a long time now I have been using imgur, but I got to thinking and wondered if there was a better site.

It would be nice if the site also allowed linking directly to the image file instead of having to go to their site. Also, an option to delete the image in-case I accidently dox myself after posting a screenshot.

After a bit of searching, I found PasteBoard and ImageVenue, but I haven't tried them out yet.

What is everyone else using?

What is Direct Linking?

[โ€“] frizzle@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A link directly to the image file, so you don't have to visit the site to see the image, avoiding another page load and advertising.

It allows you to embed the image as well.

Also, easy downloading if you want to save the image.

I guess embedding then means to show the image directly in the post or comment, without having the need to click a link. Is this correct?
