sli.mg seems to be really broken this time and that is basically the only image host. Should I just re-host and re-post,or wait it out?

I wonder if we should get a rehosting bot to not have all our eggs in one basket.
We had several of those. But the biggest problem is that image hosts lose money, so they are basically charity. In time the person who created and hosts them loses energy and motivation and stops paying for hosting.
This might be a good idea. There were tons of subs on Voat that had their content completely wiped the first time slimgur went down.
A bot that commented on new image posts with an imgur link or something would eradicate the problem. Or at least make it far less likely for all the images to disappear.
i'm still holding out hope that it'll be fixed but tomorrow i'll figure out which image host i want to use on /s/hypnopuss. i think it'd be too much effort to repost everything, maybe just have an uptick in posting for a couple days to flush out the sli.mg links. but i'm planning on re-uploading my collection when i reach 1000 gifs anyway so i know nobody will ever be deprived of those trippy cat gifs that may be gone.
I'd wait it out, hoping sli.mg will get it's shit together soon. I got whole account with pics on there so got my fingers crossed myself.
imgtc.com is the best tbh
