The above image is all us folk in the UK see when you do, and if we try to use a VPN + incognito, we get this:
403 means forbidden, so the message is disingenuous.
They must have put some effort into block lists for VPN servers. Even if it works for some of us, it's not worth it.
For more information on this, see this article: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4gzxv5gy3qo
Not really a shit post.
Sucks for the UK.
Works fine with a VPN for me.
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.
I just don't see why we should boycott imgur because of something the UK government did to them.
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.
