    As a user, I love lemmy, and I want to thank you and the other devs that work tirelessly to develop it.

    Also as a user I value the ability to manage my data, and hope to see image deletion implemented when you’re able to do so.

    After having read the Nightmare piece, my decision was to stop posting images directly to lemmy. To share images, I’m going to self host an Imgur like service so if I do want to delete an image, I can.

    I’m not a developer, and can’t contribute code to address the problem, but, at least for myself, I’ve got a solution I can implement.
