Image hosting services suitable for BL forum users

Now that Imgur is inaccessible in the UK,
https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic.php?id=9568
we have to think about suitable alternatives to use in our built-in utilities like the "quick screenshot and upload" item in the menu. (Unless the UK issue is worked out.)

Things to consider:

1) free
2) available world-wide
3) anonymous upload possible
4) access via an api, so scripts can use it
5) no extra nasty privacy issues

Please post suggestions! (It might turn out to be impossible to satisfy all the above conditions...)

Here's a random bunch I turned up yesterday:

https://postimages.org/
https://postimages.org/plugins/fluxbb
https://imgbb.com/
https://api.imgbb.com/
https://catbox.moe/ # catbox probably blocked in many countries
https://catbox.moe/tools.php
https://gist.github.com/MineBartekSA/1d … 9b4fb06591
https://litterbox.catbox.moe/
https://hostr.co/

And a lot of people on this forum are already using:

I've been using imgbox because the thumbnail image scales to show the entire image. The imgbb site is nice, but the thumbnails are cropped.
