There was some talk of this issue in the recent fediverse inefficiencies thread. I'm hopeful that in the future we'll have a decentralized solution for file hosting but for now I deeply believe that users should pay for their own file hosting.

I wish there was some version of PBS for Lemmy, like public funds for hosting. I'll admit I haven't really thought this through, so there's probably some problems with my idea.
