On May 15th 2023, Imgur will implement its new TOS, in which

We will be focused on removing old, unused, and inactive content that is not tied to a user account.

I, and presumably many other users, have uploaded things to Imgur without logging in, and then posted those images to Stack Exchange, meaning many images are in danger of link rot. In addition, the TOS also bans NSFW content, which while not directly a concern for most Stack Exchange sites, the enforcement of this TOS would mostly rely on automation, which could falsely flag thousands of images.

Can we re-upload those to the dedicated Stack Exchange account on imgur, and replace all the links?

Within a year, that would become confusing.
