Is it okay to post images to Reddthat directly, or is better to use an image hoster like catbox.moe? (reddthat.com)

Basically, title.

I have no idea what is the best from a cost/performance/reliability perspective.

I usually use catbox.moe, but got a few issues today, so I was thinking that having all of the content I post to one hoster might cause issue if they were to go down one day.

What do you think?

Yes, you can upload images to Reddthat when posting, commenting, etc.

We have a CDN In front and aggressively cache all of the images.

3rd party images are fetched to generate a thumbnail, and to cache the image. The problem with this is, catbox can be slow at times and if that happens when you post it can't generate them.
Some clients also only open the direct links instead of showing the cached image, resulting in images not loading, or taking forever to load.

I say if you are posting on Reddthat, I'm happy for people to use the features provided by Reddthat. So upload here, if you so wish.

Just remember that the images you upload are linked to your account.
