Imgur

Imgur goes to great lengths to police their platforms but does so in favor of high output users. So it becomes a power dynamic and if you say something they disagree with especially on Sunday when there are no moderators, then they will multi report you and get you a 24 hour ban in which you cannot defend yourself. They literally practice and allow censorship, but in a narrative changing way. Very toxic and allows abusers to feel they have a place to dominate others.
They added filters now to block unwanted tags, political serial posters, and now you can also block anyone who harasses you or you suspect may be dis genuine, etc. Doesn't change the fact that many users are simply to is and can still see and harm your content activity.

Imgur is the only- and I mean ONLY- unlimited storage image hosting website which is totally FREE. That's my main reason for using it.
I use it to host images for my websites, and for hosting images I post on forums and stuff, but mostly I use it to back up my photos into my private folders which are named after my computer's folders so I have everything safe. It's fast, simple, free, and unlimited, and it doesn't get any better than that!
The comments and featured images are often a little on the weird side but I'm not one for social media and don't care and don't look, so I'm quite happy. Five stars, 10/10- what are you waiting for! Grab an account!

The front page of featured images are packed with Trump-hate and radical left wing content even some calling for white genocide and to "kill all whites". None of that ever gets removed in fact it get's upvoted. Yet I got my post removed for "violating community guidelines" but all it was was a simple post about the fact that Georgetown lost to Colorado after kneeling for the anthem it didn't have anything actually violating in it. It's basically Twitter now but with more GIFs and a downvote button. Avoid this site at all costs.

There are some really cool and interesting things people are doing and sharing on this website, but you have to dig through mountains of recycled meme macros, re-posts galore, arbitrary "community" norms like "cat tax" and "no selfies", and inconsistent moderator actions.

The anonymous upvote/downvote mechanism allows for rampant abuse, especially since there is little consequence for downvoting another member's submission. The scale of abuse aimed at well intentioned but non-conforming viewpoints is staggering. 140 characters seems to be inadequate space to articulate and engage in meaningful discussion over some very controversial but tolerated political posts, especially.

As a major image hosting site, Imgur have existed for years and still outrunning their other competitor, a good place to post pics that you take yourself and can be done without even signing up with them, but if you want to ask for the user opinion about your photo, I don't recommend you do that on Imgur because their user can be so toxic that it will hurt you just by reading the comment they posted. Sometimes can be a fun site but then suddenly everyone start hating each other for some ridiculous reason.

I was a member since it was just for image sharing. Now you can't post anything with being bashed. Literally anything. My last post was of 10 hot rods from a car show. The comment section turned political within 5 comments. I'm not too political but it eventually sucked me in. I posted some crime stats from the FBI.gov website and was shadow banned immediately! Made a new account and posted some stats from homeland security about being prepared. Immediately shadow banned. I contacted support and never ever heard anything back of why. I'm pretty sure they just block my email address. No matter who you are stay far away from this site if you believe in First Amendment. Because they sure are not for it. They preach freedom and democracy but they don't practice it. It's too bad. It's almost comical how bad this website is.

I used imgur for years. I used to really enjoy turning off and having a laugh with it. But I finally had to call it quits. Too many people on there are just hateful and angry. Some share personal stories that are uplifting or emotional (hence the one star for the rare good content) but inevitably it turns into a bunch of crying, whining, babies insulting each other. God forbid you try to be a voice of reason. Just walk away and save yourself the pain of watching the degradation of society in front of you. Unfortunately, woman tend to be the target of many of the hate. I don't engage in the comment section, but it can be difficult to ignore the more angry ones. There are better sites with better people out there. Pass on this one.

This site is garbage. People are allowed to harass and/or stalk you if you disagree with their opinion. The mods here genuinely don't give a $#*!. I would literally pay for front row seats to watch the people on this site kill themselves.

If you're not an extreme left winger, you are not allowed to voice an opinion. They will delete your comments immediately without any explanation, just because it doesn't fit with their agenda. IMGUR is the most petty online community I've ever seen. Don't bother visiting IMGUR.

Imgur hires mods with left wing bias and is expressed in their daily operations. I can't count how many times I made a comment critical of Socialism and it gets taken down without warning or explanation. This is not on their TOS and violates their own TOS and supposed ethos. Imgur is a socialist propaganda echo chamber.

Constantly glitches and refuses to upload or restricts access to your own images randomly with no reason or warning for either, ultimately useless given it's purpose.

It's very unfortunate that sometimes if you want to download some interesting picture from the internet, it will take you to this image hosting site.

Now, links to image hosting sites aren't bad per se, but this particular site is a terrible one.

The problem is many people use imgur to host images, so you can't avoid using or going to the site when you want to download a gif or jpg.
And when you go to the site the biggest problem occurs, you are forced to see extreme left wing hate speech and other highly offensive content.

The site is run rampant for pure hate against republicans, trump voters, whites, Christians, basically anything or anyone who isn't part of the extreme far left minority.

Average jane or joe, who just wanted to see an entertaining pic or vid need not apply here. Regular everyday people are treated as worse than hitler on imgur.

Even after they implemented the filters, the constant stream of Anti-Trump/Right STILL clutters the Front Page. Going to Usersub is all kinds of crappy anime pictures and game templates, so it's not really an escape from the politics. This used to be a really cool site to get/share memes on, but those days are long gone. The ads are out of control. The mods will ban you for stating a reasonable counterpoint (like if you are a Vet, and correct misinformation about the VA for example). It's a sad little echo-chamber like Reddit and Fark. Deleting my profile sucked, I'd had it since 2011 if memory serves. I'd look to verify but again, I deleted it and their $#*!ty phone app. I'm not into circlejerks.

Browsing imgur used to be a daily activity to pass time. It was a place of sharing images covering a wide range of topics. Sure, there were opinions on current events, but they covered the gamut. Once prized for it's community, imgur has devolved into a circlejerk where concepts of social justice are selectively applied. I honestly can't tell at this point whether the current community is stupid enough to believe its hubris, or if most the comments just come from bots. Come for the memes, stay for the for the doublethink and self congratulatory hivemind at this point.

Thought this app was great for posting cute cat pics until the left loonies Nazi camp guards bully all users not 100% insane as them just to ban the non conformist since they will recieve complaints from the Hive. Too bad for imgur,. This could be a great site if it wasn't for the toxic users.
