A Heads Up to All Our New Goats About Imgur (pizzagate)

submitted ago by That_VoiceOver_Guy

First, I want to welcome you all, and admire you for what you are doing. Voat has your back.

Imgur is closely tied to Reddit. Because of this, if you truly want to archive your posts and keep them safe, move and use a different image hosting site like sli.mg, or other. It's a matter of time before Imgur starts deleting anything tied to Pizzagate. Like Trey Gowdy said recently, "There's no statute of limitations for seeking the truth."

Thank you for the welcome!

Imgur will continue to be popular as long as it remains the most user-friendly and accessible image host. sli.mg looks like it was designed in the 90s and works just as well and imgtc.com is still very much a work in progress. And neither will let me view an image in page like imgur, I have to have the image opened in a new tab. It's a tiny little inconvenience but it adds up.

I will continue to use imgur until there is a straight-up better option. And anyone who doesn't like it can kiss the fattest part of my ass.

It's a pretty weak argument if you ask me. I'd rather know my content wouldn't get censored...

Just remember that imgur is tied to reddit and they have outright deleted pics before. If you want a backup for your pizzagate stuff sli.mg is your best option. For your regular images do whatever you want, those probably will not get censored unless you call their dog fat.

Fun fact: Sli.mg was started in the wake of Imgur censorship and the ban of /r/fatpeoplehate.

Hey! That is fun :)

Thanks!

May I suggest people try signing on for Gab.ai...free speech alternative to Twitter. Only three things are censored, illegal porn, threats/terrorism, and doxing. It is still in beta, but coming along nicely.

All you need to know about Imgur is EVEN THEIR DOG IS FAT.

Goats can click on any image they like and go to https://sli.mg/

In less than two seconds, they repost your picture without asking for any sign-ups or accounts or anything else.

Good luck to all goats on voat.

https://sli.mg/ is blocked at many workplaces.

https://imgtc.com/ is a decent alternative.

Save this javascript command as a bookmark.
If you're currently viewing an image file, it will import it into SLiMG.
javascript:void(open('https://sli.mg/upload?url='+encodeURIComponent(document.location)))
This variation will bypass the prompt to confirm the upload.
javascript:void(open('https://sli.mg/upload?url='+encodeURIComponent(document.location)+'&auto=true'))

Similarly, this script will archive the page you are currently viewing in https://archive.is, you can also save this as a bookmark.
javascript:void(open('https://archive.is/?run=1&url='+encodeURIComponent(document.location)))
