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.

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.
