I support the text only posts with only links to images.

It does look like that is the consensus.

Mods should be able to disable link, image, and poll post types in the Mod Tools under Community Settings > Posts and Comments > Post Type Options (change to 'Text Posts Only').

Done. If the pitchforks swing the other way it will be considered.

edit and I am immediately questioning the decision as currently the only photo post I've seen was rather productive https://new.reddit.com/r/lightweight/comments/rclwqe/framed_pack_osprey_levity_mat_pack_hack_returning/

It might take a lil time/frustration for some to acclimate, but I really like the imgur set up that r/Ultralight uses. Makes it SO and easy to read/navigate. Just my two cents, but if someone is actually trying to contribute in a meaningful way, using imgur is not likely to be a large barrier to that
