Any good blocklist will include rules that filter out the complete cancer that is imgur. I can't see your memes. Use something else, or just upload them to your instance.

Is it really because "Imgur is cancer," or are you just a UK person butthurt that you got geoblocked because Imgur refused to comply with your government's censorship/attack on privacy?

If it's the latter, go bitch at your MP, not us.

(If it really is the former, understandable and have a nice day.)

    It'd be kind of weird if anyone on SDF doesn't know how to run a VPN client, anyway.

    Imgur blocks VPNs, or at least it tries to. The images won’t load when connected to my work VPN. Seems to work fine from Mullvad though so I guess they’re not doing that great on their blocking.

    I can use it over Tor. Or at least, can use it without noticeably more circuit changes than usual.

    Are you sure your work doesn't just block it?

    I suppose I’m not sure but I doubt it. Usually when they block something it comes with a big red warning that you’re violating corporate blah-blah by even thinking about this page and you should reconsider your questionable decision-making or some words to that effect.

    For Imgur the site loads and the all-important ads load, but the images just time out.
