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.

I don't get how people are still generating links to the actual image file listed on imgur. That shithole seems to have learned how to always direct you to their full dumpster website instead of just the image

    Yeah maybe a year ago they changed the direct linking to bringing you to a landing page. The new owners are determined to drive it into the ground.
    A bunch of people started this project https://imgcat.io/

    Hmmm sounds suspect tbh. They make a lot of privacy-focused corpo default-template statements like "we won't partner with anyone who will [sell your data]". Yet they're using Cloudflare and their participation links are also 1.- a Google form and 2.- a Discord server (aka a "nu-community").

    It is probably just because it became an idea thing last month I think; After ingur fired mods, and started taking down posts about trump etc.

    There's nothing built up yet, thus the google forms is my thought.
