    That pretty much defeats the point of Lemmy. I would rather not use the site at all than have Lemmy without images

      They mean the instance should block image hosting. You can still host images on imgur/etc and link to them. Just makes it imgur’s problem to mop up the bad stuff instead of a small instance host without the resources.

      I mean, Reddit didn’t have image upload support for the majority of its life. Even on Lemmy, a lot of people still upload images and videos to imgur, streamable, etc instead of using Lemmy’s built in image uploader.
