    I’ve been hanging out in imgur, which is generally nice for memes and cats, and kbin for news. It’s been surprisingly effective.

      Imgur is a shadow of the brightness it once was. After all the weird UI and ad changes. Plus the NSFW purge, among other issues.

          That’s been the case for years now. It’s no longer an image hosting site, it’s an image-based social media site.

          Yeah imgur was literally made to host pictures on Reddit, because they didn’t have an image hosting service

      I was convinced imgur was sold to Reddit. Although when searching for this it looks like I was wrong and they were instead sold to MediaLab, though apparently also a very shitty company.

        It was created by a Reddit user for the purposes of hosting images posted to Reddit but it was never owned by Reddit

      Imgur is owned by the same parent company as Reddit

      Edit: apparently I don’t know what I’m talking about

        You probably got it mixed up in your memory. It was owned by a reddit user, then sold
