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
Fucking hell. As someone in the UK who used Imgur, this sucks. Like fuck sake, I'm being fucked by the OSA and the reaction to the OSA.
This doesn’t seem like it’s Imgur’s fault for trying to avoid prison. Perhaps more fire is needed in your local MP’s home?
Them blocking VPNs is a bit much though. At that point I don't feel like it's their responsibility.
I tested a dozen different VPN endpoints and none of them are blocked.
Also happens to me, even if i'm not in the UK. I am on Iliad(italy) btw.
Yeah, with my Italian ISP, Imgur doesn't work. We need a better alternative.
Changing DNS should solve it since Italian ISPs block things only on a DNS level, i had the same problem for fitgirl and changing DNS solved it
People in the UK should vote for non-insane representatives, that would be more helpful
Tbf to them it's not their fault that the once leftwing party "randomly" decided to put a boneless liberal right before an election that had them winning for sure
I wonder what lobbies and their media have to say about that magic trick
He's not boneless! His dick-bone is well suited for ratfucking the left!
The alternatives who are most likely to take power:
Farage who will abduct and deport my wife.
The Tories who can see Farage being popular with bigots and aiming to be even more cunty.
If I were British I'd vote for the Greens
Yeah. Uh. That's like 25% less helpful for them than it is for the Americans, even if the situation isn't quite as apocalyptic. They'll need to actually do stuff.
Still waiting on that option 😟
Actually.. If every voted libdem that might work
If anyone wants to selfhost their own replacement I just spun up picsur a couple months ago and highly recommend it. Dead simple and lightweight.
How does that handle the initial flood of requests when every federated instance asks for a freshly posted image all at the same time? Or is that a smaller problem than I am imagining?
All of my federated stuff has run smoothly with that kinda stuff but I don't think picsur is fed? Is it? 👀 If it is I gotta check that out lol. Mine is isolated. Just use it to dump photos and get quick links
I could have been more clear, I meant when you post a link to your self-hosted image to lemmy, and all the various federated lemmy instances ask for it all at once. Sounds to me like it’s not an issue at all :)
Yep no issues for me smooth sailing.
People still use imgur?
I do, that's the only one I can remember which I can embed easily here.
What are the alternatives? I wish I could just upload images for comments in PieFed.
I'm using Boost for Lemmy and I never questioned how it works, but I can just add images here straight from my gallery.
You are on Lemmy, I'm on PieFed
It doesn't matter, it's a clone with same functionality. There are users below uploading the same way I did and it uploads on their instance (piefed).
Realistically it's just your front end lacking image upload function, but there is back-end for it.
To me it does matter because I can't upload pictures to comments.
Catbox is basically what Imgur used to be before it went to absolute shit. You upload images, you can link to them. That's it. You don't need to create an account, but if you do, you can see everything you've uploaded. It's free. Not really sure what more you can ask for in an image host.
"both the ICO and Ofcom - the media regulator enforcing the Online Safety Act - said Imgur suspending access for UK users had been its own "commercial decision"
They're just trying to avoid getting fined by the UK.
so what you say is, we have a means to post things in such a way the british can’t see them… 🧐 /j
It does not work for me and i am in Italy...
it doesn’t even work for me lol
either my instances CDN uses a UK server somewhere and that blocks it, or you just can’t post imgur images in comments
i guess we are all british on this cursed day… 😔
At least we are not french jk
Edit: after looking at your profile i want correct me, at least i am not french
eille toé chose chu pô française non plus surveille ton language tabarnak
(/j)
Are you canadian? I found that tabarnak is a canadian term, by the way tabarnak sound like a citation from some Dungeons and Dragons inspirated story
haha yeah, im a quebecker :3
tabarnak is a swear word in quebec french, and like pretty much all swear words in quebec french it comes from a religious word (in this case, tabernacle) - maybe that’s why it sounds kinda fantasy-ish?
but you’re right lol, it really does sound like that!
wait am I british o.O
sorry you had to find out this way 😔

Huh. I'm from Baltics, no VPN
Imgur has been shitty for years at this point. They kept fucking with the UI when all I wanted to do was upload images and share the link. They should have stayed in their lane, not try to reinvent their platform as social media. Then their wholesale blocking of VPN traffic? Tired of that nonsense. I use imgbb now.
Good job Imgur, kick the brits off your site until they stop being wankers.
Not really a shit post.
Sucks for the UK.
Works fine with a VPN for me.
