Wait how do you use imgur besides posting images
Comment on Sooo... This is happening on Imgur

A lot of reddit users, especially those who have recently been permabanned due to the great censorship purge, are just hanging out there now. Not much censorship.
It’s super antifa. I scroll there a lot when I’m in a meme mood.

It’s got a frontpage with public posts and comments

Yep I split my time between Lemmy and Imgur to fill the void after leaving reddit, cause Lemmy alone unfortunately isn’t enough to show you everything there was to see on reddit.
That said, be warned that it’s corporate owners have no problems with collecting as much data as they can off your phone and selling it to anyone who’s buying. Just look at this shit:

So if you do decide to go there, do yourself a favor and wear a condom. Install DuckDuckGo and enable “app tracking protection”, and get a DNS-level adblocker on your phone as well. AdGuard or NextDNS are both fine choices.

I just gave up imgur myself for voicing an opinion of civil disobedience and then told why don’t I go there myself with a gun and start shooting. Nuance seems to be dead everywhere.

+1 for AdGuard DNS. Using apps without it is a damn nightmare. Almost thought my phone had some kind of virus the other day when I temporarily turned it off and then opened mapquest

Thanks that’s good info to have.
I’m hearing they are starting to censor but that must be kinda new.
Too bad.
It was, as you say, a decent reddit alternative for images/memes.
