      Just click/tap the link to go directly on imgur. It’s imgur that blocks hotlinking and forbids other sites to display its images. They want people to go on their website, watch ads, stay captive.

      Imgur is a terrible place to host images if they’re not intended to be viewed on imgur.

        Ah, that would explain it then. I didn’t realise it was hosted on imgur (Voyager makes it look like it’s hosted natively). Imgur is blocked in the UK because we’re not much better than America when it comes to authoritarianism, we’re just more subtle.

              No, they blocked the UK because they we threatened with a fine for selling children’s browsing habits (that they themselves had tagged as children). Rather than simply filter out the children they geoblocked the whole country. This was before the porn registration legislation came into effect, but they like people to think it’s that because that sounds like they’re heroes rather than creeps. Imgur corporate thanks you for continuing to spread this disinformation.
