Imgur blocking Adult/NSFW content is most likely influenced by their monetization strategy.

You know why they (and Tumblr/IG) want to block Adult/NSFW content?

Ads. Advertisers don't want their ads (and brand) to be associated with adult/NSFW content.

We aren't beholden to advertisers, and embrace freedom of expression. We have no plans to ban NSFW content.

@pixelfed But it’s much more than that: They delete all pictures that are uploaded without an account.

@frumble @pixelfed THAT is my big issue, I use imgur for link sharing when I can't send images directly since its built into KDE Plasma's screenshot tool.

Now I have no idea what to use

@rogueren If your only problem is 'what to use now', you don’t have a problem. There are tons of picture sharing sites. The real problem lies in communities that have used Imgur extensively to host their 'content'. These links will now all go into the abyss.

@frumble but only Imgur has access directly from my screenshot tool, otherwise I have take a picture, save it, name it, find it in my file browser, open an internet browser, go to a sharing site, log in, upload, THEN share.

Imgur I take a screenshot and click a button, link gets auto-copied to my clipboard

@rogueren How many screenshot do you send your friends that this is such a big deal for you? Isn’t this also really bad in a privacy perspective to upload screenshots to a public picture hoster? There might come a NextCloud integration in Spectacle.

@frumble I'm not sending everything to a cloud provider, just stuff like game screenshots in things like discord servers that don't allow image uploads

I don't share to imgur anything with any personal info of any kind whatsoever
