Should we fix postimg.org links to postimg.cc?

For some reason, I can't access https://postimg.org anymore.

For instance, on Stack Overflow, we have 6,605 posts with broken images on postimg.org.

But I noticed that the mirror https://postimg.cc is working.

For instance, replacing .org with .cc would fix: 1 2 3 etc. (the vast majority)

Should we edit all posts one by one to change urls from .org to .cc?
Should we instead let an admin make an update query to replace them all?

I'd recommend making a copy of all those images onto the Stack Exchange Imgur account to prevent further link rot in case that mirror goes down as well.

@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog impossible to copy those, for copyright reasons.
