Not a deal breaker but still frustrating

I wrote this before investigating further and Dreamwidth DOES have photo hosting and it's amazing and I love it.

I understand why Dreamwidth doesn't host photos but it's still frustrating that I have to host photos someplace else before being able to include them in a post. It stops me from posting a lot of things I otherwise would.

I have a huge amount of Covid related memes that I'd really like to post with explanations were useful. I'd have to find a home for them all, though, and I'm lazy. I really am.

I'd also like to be able to easily upload photos of myself in cute outfits. It's so easy on twitter, for instance. I just select it and upload it straight from my phone.

Twitter, of course, has advertising. And Elon Musk. Two things that Dreamwidth doesn't have.

I'll take the mild inconvenience over that.

Dreamwidth does host photos now!

Not as easy to use as newer apps, but you don't need outside hosting anymore.
