Imgur has blocked the UK

[Nabinium]

This was started in response to the new owners of imgur --> https://s3nd.pics/

They are still in their early days, but they are very actively in development it seems.

Just seen this too, but how will they deal with the OSA?

I’m in the US right now until Thursday, think I might stay…

**** the uk government, it’s one thing after another, they’re treating us like we’re babies.

Had enough of it.

So, what alternatives are out there?

I've used https://lensdump.com for a while, it's very good.

There is also https://freeimage.host

 

[Noxia]

So many unoriginal signatures on here.

Please don't delete imgur accounts just yet, we're looking to see if we can retrieve images that have already been posted and add them as attachments. That relies on the source image still being there.

We're also looking at enabling image uploads here. No promises, but it's the logical step.

If they are based outside of the UK, they should just take the 4chan approach and ignore it.

I don't think we even have the ability to unless connected to a VPN of course.

I've signed up for the 2nd one. It works!

The first one cost money? is it a 1 time fee or monthly sub?

 

[DXP55]

Thats all my pictures gone.

 

[JonRGV250]

Thats all my pitures gone.

Just use a free VPN.

Oh yeah hadn't noticed they restricted signups. I've had an account for a couple of years so must be well before they did that.

Shocking, just to do it like that with no warning, who knows what's going to hit us next...

 

[Nabinium]

You know it's serious when mumsnet is posting about the block too.

This is why people should pay more attention to the bills the government is trying to push through

I'd wager it's far more cost-effective to just block the entire UK than comply with all of the ridiculous OSA shenanigans...

Gosh darn it!

I literally used https://freeimage.host/ that was suggested above though the image does load for me...

GD is twinned with Mumsnet.
