I've seen that too and it's always kind of strange to me. I might be missing something but the Discord groups I was a part of are nothing like Imgur and I don't know why they're presented as compatible.
I guess it's easier to be an abusive discord mod and carve out your own little kingdom, and that's the direction we're going. Social atomization. Burbclaves.
Chris Pratt has done a bunch of charity work and is, by most accounts, a nice guy. Why do we have to villify good people just because their opinions don't 100% align with how we personally feel? All he did was urge people to have an open mind for fucks sake
pfft, imgur is dead, tumblr is dead, sure, whatever anyway, next post xDDD
imgur is good because it is not popular enough to be enshittified by capitalism, the only shit here is user posted shit (assuming you have an use content blockers or some manner), which is why i draw the comparison to tumblr, another site full of shitposting
It's flooded with bots posting, it's moderated by an AI and unless you're a paid member or have ad blocker it's rammed with more ads than you can poke a stick at. You're plain wrong.
you seem to be new here, welcome. you probably don't seem to notice the arcade stuff, or the emeralds, or the absolutly bad ads, or the censorship, or the bot spam.
News: All well-known social media sites are corporate owned. The primary goals of a corporation, legally & practically, is to maximize shareholder value & generate profits. For social media companies specifically, this means 1. Growing user engagement & time spent on platform. 2. Expanding user bases. 3. Maximizing advertising revenue (their main income source). 4. Collecting user data to improve AD TARGETTING. 5. Maintaining market position against competitors. Want "different"? GOOD LUCK.
People really need to join us in the fediverse if they want to change things. User-created and community-owned platforms like Mastodon (twitter), Pixelfed (Insta/Imgur), PeerTube (video), Loops (TikTok), Lemmy (Reddit), Ghost & WriteFreely (blog), etc. No ads, no data mining.
No. Ads are fundamentally at odds with the fediverse. There are no centralized companies, no for-profit companies. It's all paid for by subsidies, crowdfunding/donations.

That's not what you said though. You said multiple insulting things about people then wonder why you get in trouble for it.
aCheekyFingerUpTheBum
I will say that there is a lot less spam lately
dumberthanyouraveragebear
Even the spammers know a dead horse when they see one

Internet is dead. We need to touch grass, draw our own memes, and hang them up on the wall of our favorite bar.

This would also solve the age restriction problem, no kids at bars anyway.

I like this idea more then I should lol

Back to imgur, realistically. Or youtube shorts.
TalkingSnake
Reddit. Imgur. Reddit. Imgur. Solitaire.
Rinse repeat.

Or the Fediverse alternatives: Lemmy, Pixelfed, Lemmy, Pixelfed, Solitaire.gg
messedabout
Geeze. Stop trying to make pixelfed happen. It ain’t gonna happen
ourari
Not Pixelfed itself. An Imgur built on top of Pixelfed.

I'm happy here anyway. I've found my people.

I've been looking for a good site to post my drawings on, one that doesn't have a full on porn section, if someone finds one, let me know.
AzgarOgly
that depends on what kind of content you want to see

Outside?

Grandmas house, ask for photo albums and get memes from family pictures, internet free

If you find out, tell me.

Hopefully programmers of Imgur will build an Imgur-like interface for Pixelfed: /gallery/wvU5EVL

Following this thread. While flogging the corpse of and squeezing the last few drops of life.

Same. I've seen others suggest discords but it's not the same vibe as a website.

Pixelfed let's you post albums, but there's something about servers so I guess you have to find the right one
ourari
Yeah, hopefully someone will build an Imgur-like interface on top of Pixelfed. /gallery/wvU5EVL

Anyone else's favourites folders option disappeared from adding a gif to a comment?
CuntCrotchula
Wasnt sure if that was just me (i have a zfold, so the aspect ratio difference breaks things sometimes) or what
It shows up if you turn on auto rotate and rotate your phone. Not annoying at all...
WaterUnderTheRocketAppliances
Can't choose folders or my own posts. Also not getting any notifications

That discord is just Imgur but actually good.

I Jane trouble with the discord. Haven't figured out how to browse as easily. I like to watch.
