  I’m not a Trump fan. Any review of my socials will reveal some pretty ‘strident criticism’. Do you still recommend I chance losing 5k to 10k of bookings and weeks of leave on the chance I’ll get detained and deported?

  If you save the images to your account, you can repost them when the thread calls for it.

  eg I have a photo of my foot when I broke it off at the ankle. It comes up occasionally and the link is still usable years later. You also have more control over visibility (and posting to Imgur users etc, ie don’t).

  For throwaway memes you’ll never want to share again, treating it like a url shortener is great.

  I’m so old I remember the first post. Hey you can host images for reddit here. The other image hosting sites at the time sucked, they were slow, purged content frequently, and were full of ads. I signed up immediately and imgur was good for almost 10 years and nearly the only place images from reddit reddit users were hosted. I think the pressure to monetize combined with reddit’s own image hosting push sent them into the enshitification death spiral.

  Or the government sets up an age verification service that doesn’t store logs and only reports numbers in aggregate. The restricted site sends you and a unique id off to the government service, you verify there and it hands back the id & a yes/no token to the site.
