Sadly there will be one less app on my phone soonish. Now I really have nothing to do with my phone.

Hey I just got back. What happened?
KommanderKayriel
Nazis finally got hold of Imgur, too.
ThatHurts
Corporate enshittification of imgur continues. What few features there were are evaporating, people fired and replaced with shitty attempts at ai, UI beginning less and less usable, ad pressure becoming harder to work around.
kittyanya
yeeeesh. glad I don't use the app and use the old version of Imgur on PC with 3 ad blockers.

It's a bot post likely, all the stuff he talks about almost killed IMGUR during the GIF wars most "people" know that

SpaceMarineWithAnUrgeToPurge
What's going on?
tinyfootprints
I'm very concerned about the broken notifications. It's as though Big Brother is stopping us from sharing important information.
algoritham
Enshittification.
drizztx
Imgur circling the drain the same way GFYCAT did. Just a bit slower.
gummyloaf
Without listing everything like the world is ending, notifications are broke. Since there’s no real sign humans work on Imgur anymore, and a main feature sits broke for going on 3 days now, it’s not a great look
NotSomoneElse68
For a long time now - when I comment on something, it doesn't immediately show up. I need to go to my profile Uber comments to see it.
DontKnowTheSource
In their defense, they pushed an update that broke it Friday "night" and took the weekend off. I give it 18-24 more hours or less
ADDGirl
"In their defense, they did something dumb and walked away." Yeah, anyone who knows anything about computers knows you don't do that.
DontKnowTheSource
Oh it's dumb as shit and they are idiots for doing so. But this isn't the first time it's happened
ADDGirl
Then maybe.. stop defending known idiots?
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
Notifications stopped working last Friday. Apparently this couldn't be fixed in an afternoon, so of course it's still not working on Sunday (or early Monday on this side of the Atlantic). Apparently that's a sign imgur is dying. I say let the staff enjoy their weekend and tackle this problem on Monday. If it's still not fixed by Wednesday we can start worrying.
drizztx
You... you think Imgur still has "staff?"
imredheaded
Whoa whoa whoa, get outta here with a calm response that doesn't require 24/7 on-call support for features
JohnWickdidnothingwrong
People are recognizing that imgur has been dead for a while now.
TheBigCheese93
Ingur got bought out, new overlords have turned over mods to AI, the servers that used to be held together with bubble gum and hope have lost any hope they ever had, all user interface functionality is as useful a Light bulb in Stevie Wonder's house. Long-time, foundational, and pillars of the community members are being banned with no explanation and the site is no longer a fun place to be. By no means do I qualify, but I've been here 10 years and I don't post much, so I'm not going anywhere.
DallasGuage
Isthe4thtimethecharm
I love the Stevie Wonder light bulb analogy. I once delivered to a blind woman's house and was surprised she didn't have any lights on. Then I realized why she would. I knew ahead of time she was blind because I searched her name on FB because it was a ghetto apartment complex late at night. And I was worried her name was Jedi. I thought, am I about to get robbed? Turns out she was a blind woman who taught blind people to use their canes. So the blind leading the blind. Loved the irony.
blissblush
I’m out of the loop, who all got banned? Where is everyone finding out these details?
imredheaded
I'm also out of the loop. Also wondering if the bans are worse than the bans when imgur first went corporate like 8 years ago and they were giving bans for basically all lewd content (and requiring it be marked NSFW if it was suggestive or included suggestive text)
ilostmyway
finally an answer
afterdarkart
Seeing Satan's account go from a place that I enjoyed hearing from to 'don't expect me to be around much anymore' is heart breaking. We had so many good things and now...as usual, Mindless Techbros at MediaLabs have ruined everything they touch. Again.
LaffertyDanie1
Oh I've been wondering why it's slow and buggy as shit
KommanderKayriel
Oh, so the Nazis got Imgur too, now. There's basically nowhere left online for anti-Nazis except Bluesky and they're trying to tear that down, too.
MioTaalas
The found another service... And another until you win.
New ones must come as old ones are killed off.
ZuluThreeZero
Hol' up, Nazis? I'm missing something here, who are we talking about? MediaLab?
oilyanaldischarge
Liberal Nazis? It seems that 90% of the posts are just hating on people, and just shouting and yelling about something or another.
PaintedSlate
Hating on people? How so? And they were talking about the buyers, not the community. Basically, the landlord sold the apartment complex.
Khanamana324
Imgur got bought out by oligarchs and is being enshitified as we speak.
ZuluThreeZero
Yup, aware of that, just wondering how we jumped to calling them Nazis for being shitty capitalists.
sharkynomnoms
I can relate. I've been here over a decade and have gotten amazing things out of this community even though I don't actually engage with it often. I'm on here almost daily and it's just gotten to be such a sad shell. I don't see myself leaving yet though.
emberratbag
Ditto, this is my only social media
vanishinggirl
Same. Participated in some secret Santa’s, chatted with a few of the great people here, thrown in enough of my 2cents in the comments to have a couple a bucks, and posted a few random stuff. I’ll still hang out, but it makes me sad that this place is losing some of the best posters because of shitty way they’ve been treated. I got no where else to go.
Cholf
14 years of insanity. Might as well ride the collapse. What a ride.

I wonder what Sarah is thinking. If she can hear us, "Sarah, Make it Stop".

Yeah, there's nowhere else to go for random laughs for half an hour so I'll stick around, but the "community" of imgur is on discord servers now.

It feels slower? Like. Sure the bots aren't there, but I can't seem to get a new update/post on Hot or something aside from Newest unless I check once every 3 days. Its just vacant for now? IG?

Open phone and go install instagram. The reels will sort you out with a quick laugh lil bro. Maybe even 45 min of random laughs.

ThingsThatDontJustifyGenocide
Imgur is good because the "algorithm" doesn't exist, it's just directly user-curated.
Instagram runs a whole ass city-power-using algorithm to keep you on it as long as possible.
greentights
It's mostly ads
theworldcouldbeflat
Also a lot of Nazi shit get's advertised there and pushed on you as content.

Website and app are dying. Notifications are dead, moderation becomes worse daily, users that brought it life are leaving, end vitrification in full force by a faceless shit of a company that will squeeze that very ad revenue out of it that it can before leaving it becalmed and ablaze to sink.
vanderzee
wow, even on desktop not getting any notifications. and just learned about media lab, why must all the good things be ruined by shitty companies? what a stupid timeline we live in
evilspock
So, "sunday". Got it.
nopo
Yeah, I've been here a long time and I've seen people claim the site is dying a fair number of times. It always survives and continues on just fine.
vanderzee
just learned about medialab and how they already ruined several apps/sites. imgur is really in a bad place :(
geekykeycap
Yup. My opinion too. Also lassan (Idc if I misspelled) made this place worse. Hope he's gone and the door hit him in the head on the way out.
WitchIrkalla
Where are we migrating too? Please dont make me go to Ifunny
KingXizor
I believe there are a couple discords out there. @ElbowDeepInAHorse, the iron-gifers, and the user that posts dumps ending with their cat SweetPotatoCasserole(I think that's it's name) have discords if I remember right.
Hotsauceman
I know @gingersnark has one too
