Imgur blocking Adult/NSFW content is most likely influenced by their monetization strategy.
You know why they (and Tumblr/IG) want to block Adult/NSFW content?
Ads. Advertisers don't want their ads (and brand) to be associated with adult/NSFW content.
We aren't beholden to advertisers, and embrace freedom of expression. We have no plans to ban NSFW content.

in reply to pixelfed • • •Fuck NSFW! They are deleting all anonymous uploads as well.
This means all the old Reddit posts with Imgur links will be worthless. Including SFW posts.
I have a few r/CoolGuides posts bookmarked on Reddit that link to Imgur. I need to save them until the end of this month, or they will be gone.

in reply to pixelfed • • •there is some users who does not want to be in an environnement where NSFW content can be easily accessible.
Even if you are in a perfect world (we are’nt) where all users mark the right content as NSFW, some users will simply go elsewhere who is more ”family-safe”.
And a user might just avoid to open a site/app in a public place (example: in public transit) just to avoid the embarrassment of having NSFW stuff on the screen while kids could be around.

#Imgur was originally created because ImageShack banned #nsfw content! The VERY SAME THING they're gonn do!

in reply to pixelfed • • •the hardest part is getting people who haven't had to deal with constant nonsense bans to switch from mainstream platforms to alternatives like #pixelfed. Alas even when they DO get frequently banned, a lot refuse to leave (like a friend of mine who has three alt Facebook accounts they switch between as one gets a temporary ban...) They all give the excuse that "if I quit [mainstream platform] then I'll lose access to family and friends!" to which I say "if those people are really worth keeping in contact with, they'll follow you to the new platform." if nothing else, there's always email.
IDK I'll just keep trying to lure my mainstream platform followers to less faschy places by posting "hey go here to see the uncensored version of my content!" but something something horses, water, drink...
