I was there Gandalf, 3000 years ago at the beginning of the internet, when the words tubgirl and goatse were uttered in hushed tones. I was there when the will of man failed.

6·1 year agoRacists suspend 4 bigots after arguments break out over who’s the biggest bigoted bully of them all.
Manchester police currently have a higher body count than the actual attacker with 2 dead to his 1… and for the bigots out there who love to scream ‘facts, figures and statistics’ to support their xenophobia…
MANCHESTER POLICE KILLED 100% MORE PEOPLE THAN THE TERRORIST DID!!! :)
Yeah, they think they can avoid the fine by blocking the UK… but that won;t have any effect on their past failings to follow the UK laws.
All I can say is… good, imgur can fuck off and hopefully die.
A few weeks back they went on a mass banning spree too after a mass protest from users. I ‘could’ still access it as I use a VPN and have for the last 12-13yrs… the OSA affected me for 2 seconds, as I switched from a server in one country to another… But imgur went to shit a long time ago, bowing to chinese investors and censoring shit, then being bought by a toxic company known for degrading services and running them into the ground whilst pocketing as much cash as they get their hands on.
So imgur has been dying for many years, and this is just finishing it off.
Don’t fret, there are alternatives and they’re not corpo controlled by wankers.
They need to be connected to their servers to be set up… worthless junk. At least you’ve learned a valuable… albeit it, expensive lesson. There is no reason at all to allow these devices to be at the whim of some company. It’s a hill I would gladly die upon, and the only things in my home that connect to the internet are my solar/battery system and my thermostat… both can be integrated into home assistant and only the solar/battery system sends any data about generation and battery health, I’ve even isolated onto guest wifi network to keep it free from the house.
If it’s not compatible with home assistant it’s worthless junk. If it requires their app to function, it’s worthless junk… you are buying a product that can be rendered a brick at any point, and there are literally hundreds of examples of companies doing exactly this.
Stop buying them, unless you own them and control them.
Racist past… racist present… racist, fascist, grifting POS is always going to be a racist fascist grifting POS… His name should be Forage… because he’s always foraging for bribes and cash to line his own pockets.
