    Because of this, I never upload directly an image to Lemmy and others, using instead a sharing tool (FileCoffee, IMHO the best). With my account there I can easily delete the hosted image with which it disappear everywhere.

      It’s not a bad thought, but the way some Fediverse software works, it can still get proxied and/or cached locally.
