Can somebody reupload the image at a non-feddit.org host? Feddit is incredibly annoying in that it geoblocks most of Asia.

Tap for spoiler
Well apparently asia is the source of a lot of scraping traffic, and they're an European focused website, so they went with the nuclear option of blocking the entire continent and change. Never mind that as one of the bigger instances on the Threadiverse, they're degrading the user experience for an entire continent. I brought the issue up to them previously, but they didn't seem too concerned about it.Example of degraded user experience for Asia:
On my instance the image is hosted locally (maybe an image proxy? idk).
Do you see it if you view the post from here?: https://piefed.social/c/politicalhumor/p/1445239/proof-or-poop
I thought most lemmy instances were proxying images to prevent de-anonymization attacks. Maybe you should switch instance.
Yes, that works.
I think mostly they're only proxying images in DMs. Proxying all images was cited as one of the issues during that period when CP was being spammed (IIRC).
I might consider moving instances, since I had been thinking of switching to piefed.
