I still remember my 7 digit id from 1995. I wonder if my 6 digit password still works...

It’s impossible not to feel anger at platforms like Imgur that treat safeguarding as an inconvenience. If your response to being asked to protect children is to flip the table and walk away, then you’re telling everyone exactly who you are.

An app unapologetically deleted.

As a father, having watched the ripple effects of online harm up close… provoking premature deaths, self-harm, and kids buckling under pressure they were never equipped to handle...

In 2025, in a petulant tantrum over compliance with child protection frameworks, Imgur blocked access from the UK. This isn’t a principled stand or technical limitation. It’s a sulk.

And that’s a grotesque message to send...

Over time it drowned it. The cats disappeared in sacks under the political posts. The fun got replaced by performative outrage. I drifted to Reddit, like a lot of people did, and only checked back occasionally… mostly to confirm what I already knew...

Then there’s Imgur. The ultimate platform enshitified!

Back in 2010 it was a gateway drug to Reddit. Cat photos, wallpaper dumps and dumb memes. An innocent scroll during lunch. Imgur was utility masquerading as joy...

I replaced the Atari ST with a 486DX/66 with a CDROM and Sound Blaster.

Star Wars Rebel Assault was beautiful in glorious 320x240 😎
