Wait what's happening with imgur?
Removing porn and all images not uploaded from an imgur account
But why the porn?
There's just too damn much of it, and the people accessing it generally aren't stopping to be advertised to. That's a lot of storage and bandwidth costs with very little ability to make money back.
If everyone would just stop clicking on ads, this whole "the customer is the product" business model across the internet would stop within a week.
I hear you and I'm with you. I don't even look at ads, I don't permit my software on my hardware to offend me with them.
What would they switch to, though?
That and the desire to make money while being at the mercy of two card processors who set the rules. If you want MasterCard or Visa support then remove porn.
Nsfw images can't be monitised with ads.
I sure hope my trusty ShareX program isn’t affected…

Bro you ok?
sometimes you get an error message when posting a comment so you try again but then actually it got posted so that's why they probably posted it multiple times on accident
Man, it really is a drop-in replacement for Reddit.
Running into so many early reddit day issues on Lemmy is really hitting me in the feels. I'm loving the experience.
It's been so long since I fealt like I were having real conversations. There's not post with 10k+ comments.
Lemmy needs some kind of comment idempotency check.
Seems lemmy.world is having server issues
It seems that the high latency on this instance often causes people to receive an error saying their message wasn't posted, when it actually was. This happened to me the other day, I ended up with like 4 repeated comments, and I've also seen it all across different communities on lemmy.world.
