  • PSA: Stop using Imgur for now

    Jump

  • I'm not calling us to not use it as a boycott measure. It's more of a practical consideration for other users like myself who won't get to see your posts at all.

    There are alternative approaches that don't cause these problems so I'd like people to use them.

  • I just upload directly to the instance, at least that's what I think I'm doing. My app lets me do that (Boost).

  • I put it on here because it's one of the communities that posts the most photos and I've seen a few Imgur embeds posted here in the last day or two. Feel free to forward to any other channel.

    As for it working for you, yeah I suspect they have some IP ban lists, and it definitely won't cover every VPN, but I don't think it's reasonable to ask someone to use a different VPN to see your post. Not that you were necessarily implying that.

  • Huh, crazy! Can't imagine why!

  • Please stop using Imgur because UK folks can't see images from it

    VPNs don't help, I've tried. They must have a block list.

    Thanks for making it.

  • That looks like Android 5 Lollipop, so the base screenshot is likely from around 2015

    Someone found this meme in their shoebox in the attic, and I'm glad they did.

  • Imgur blocks access to UK users after proposed regulatory fine

    Jump

  • Thanks for sharing. I should push back on your statement a little.

    The investigation relates to how MediaLab’s Imgur social media platform uses children’s information and its approach to age assurance.

    And in the Children’s code strategy progress update mentioned.

    One platform has committed to introduce age assurance methods, to help ensure that children have an age-appropriate online experience.

    To comply with child data protection rules, you necessarily have to either:

    • Know that they are a child by checking their age
    • Not collect information on anyone

    It does look like the focus is mostly on data collection, not content moderation, so I will concede on that point. I should have read a bit more into this before commenting.

  • Imgur blocks access to UK users after proposed regulatory fine

    Jump

  • The title is a little bit misleading, it's mostly about Imgur not adding the age checking that the UK's infamously disliked new law requires on possibly mature content.

    Age verification is a notoriously difficult problem to solve in a privacy-respecting way, and Imgur is literally about unobtrusive image embeds so I doubt they could even make this work.

  • Cloudflare DDoSed itself with React useEffect hook blunder

    Jump

  • I recently ran a session and wrote an internal blog post about why useEffect was a dangerous crutch that should be avoided wherever possible. This was due to recently experienced over-complicated logic and unexpected interaction bugs.

    This is a little different but I still feel vindicated.

  • I agree. It's obviously satire.

    To be fair I wouldn't put it past some right-wing weirdos posting this completely seriously as evidence. It would sit well next to some of their actual conspiracy theories.

    They do not understand satire and have brain worms.
