Imgur are corpocrap. Host on lemmy instead.

Why go to all this effort for a worse experience for other people?

Uh, I heard it in the news.

Iirc, the ICO (data protection regulator) preliminarily found that imgur was selling user data to advertisers, having been profiling users for age band (including children).

They then threatened imgur with a fine if they didn’t agree steps to protect children’s data, but imgur decided to protest by geoblocking the country.

ICO say that liability for previous illegal sale of children’s data does not disappear, and imgur blame it on the much less popular online safety act, which is weird because the investigation started well before the act came into force.

Imgur were also shitty because they deleted a vast amount of older images because the posters didn’t have a subscription with them, which kind of betrays the whole original point of the website.

I think they also sacked the original creators, but I may be mixing them up with another rapidly shittifying webcorp.

“Content not viewable in your region.”

Hilarious.

Imgur sold children’s personal data and geoblock to try to evade the fine.

And absolutely sickening what John Money did.

You randy bugger!

I read Goth Clowns Only. If I’m dyslexic, it’s really mild.

Did you mean to spell it “knot” instead of “not”?!

I’m no disposable drone #132,792!

I’m Valued and Well Loved Utterly Disposable and Routinely Replaceable Drone #3,472, I’ll have you know!

Seems a great many of you need this.

Nope. Don’t need that.

Did you know that the reason imgur blocks the UK is that it is trying to evade a fine for selling children’s personal data?

They are a shit corporation and they already deleted old data for posters that didn’t have a paid subscription with them.

There are other image hosts.

Lemmy lets you upped directly to your instance and if gets federated.

Don’t use imgur.

appreciated

Correction: profited from. They profited from that sacrifice.

This is true, but not in any way helpful.

Ah! So the fabled but rarely found great head does exist!

Contrats, dude, you clearly rock. Respect for the skills there and the enthusiasm.

That was a very frank answer, thank you. Do you yourself get repeat requests, or is it just that no one is particularly impressed by head?

(My wife has never been particularly keen.)

The internet seems to think that gay men have more enthusiasm and understanding than women about what feels good when giving head, and that therefore give much better head. Comments?

Username does not check out.

(The war was over in Europe in May. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were the following August.)

What’s the point of rehosting to a corporation who geoblock immediately and delete later? You may as well link to the original image.

Better, right click, save image to downloads, click the image button in Lemmy, select the most recently downloaded thing, press OK. Optionally clear download(s). It’s no big deal. Now your image is federated. Everyone wins.

They also deleted a bunch of content for the crime of not having a paid subscription with them. Think twice before trusting corporations with your stuff.

Actually, it turns out 1 is independent and another is already suspended or something.

Anyway, yes, but they can do so much more damage from within, so I think they won’t.

Of course they’re both right wing, but that doesn’t make them the same. Angela Merkel and Adolf Hitler were both rightwing chancellors of Germany. It DOES NOT make them the same.

8 crap senators who aren’t standing in 2026 capitulated and gave in to the republicans. The rest were standing firm. If there were just a few more dems they could have still stood firm.
