Come May 15, 2023, Imgur will be deleting all sexually explicit content, along with old images that were uploaded by users who were not signed in.

We will be focused on removing old, unused, and inactive content that is not tied to a user account from our platform as well as nudity, pornography, & sexually explicit content. You will need to download/save any images that you wish to save if they no longer adhere to these Terms. Most notably, this would include explicit/pornographic content.

aaaaaaa I fucking hate the Tumblrization of the Internet so much

I was going to do some grandiose rant about "and this isn't about wanting to see meaty cocks, it's about freedom and slippery slopes and Internet history and health education and whatever" but you know what, seeing meaty cocks is a public good in its own right god dammit. if the meaty cock's owner consents and so do I, that is a legitimate part of the free exchange of information

which we were never really promised, but we should have been because it advances human flourishing a hell of a lot more than the MasterCard terms of service do

Pornography can and should be allowed to exist for its own merit without needing justification. Everything else aside, there's nothing wrong with consenting adults looking at consenting adults. Pornography has merit all on its own.

Wow, this sucks. imgur was the image host for 10 years. Another reminder you can't rely on any online service, I guess. Still, the amount of information that's about to be lost to link rot is painful to imagine. I wonder how much of this has been archived by the Internet Archive.

And THAT is why I have 100ish GB of "stuff" I like saved on my NAS. Nothing online can be trusted to stay up forever. Incompetence, poor financial decisions, or in this case policy change, - all can and do make stuff inaccessible.

:( i still actively use several forums so this is concerning (i mean obviously it's concerning anyway but likely "i might have to change how i do things" concerning) do i have to make an account so i don't have to worry about my images getting deleted in a year or two? how old is "old" to them anyway? i wish this article was more clear what's grounds for deletion when it comes to images not tied to an account.
