We should use Veuwer instead of Slimgur. It was made for Voat. https://veuwer.com/

Looks nice and basic, yet reliable, although some of the users will undoubtedly find alternatives like Slimgur more aesthetically appealing.

Whichever alternative works for you.

Archive.today, which couldn't stand up to ideological DMCA spamming, has been superseded by archive.is.
The anti-slimgur nonsense is foolish. Veuwer isn't even up atm.

Yeah, slimgur's connection to fph means that it won't remove "offensive" content which is very much in line with voat's policy.

archive.is points to the exact same service run by the exact same guy. He's had both domains for a while, along with archive.li.

Or http://veuwer.com/ or https://picgur.org/ or http://postox.com/ or https://voatpic.me/.
All image hosts created for Voat and/or in protest of reddit and imgur.

There's https://up1.ca too.

That one scratches a slightly different itch. All images are encrypted client-side and sent to the server that way, so they must be decrypted inline on the site. This effectively means you can't hotlink to images and can't view them inline on Voat. So it's not as easy to use in exchange for some privacy.

I don't see why you guys are so obsessed with not giving Reddit traffic... Surely we should all be trying to grow and improve Voat rather than trying to kill Reddit.
[–] bongosilly 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Exactly. An alternative doesn't have to be anti.

I know Imgur was created FOR reddit, but I thought it was separately owned. Why should we avoid it?
[–] frankenmine 1 point 2 points 3 points (+3|-1) ago
Some of reddit's investors have also invested millions of dollars into imgur. They're not independent. When reddit's board makes a decision, they do so with a view to favor imgur and shut out competitors, and vice versa. This is almost certainly what happened with the hard banning (changed to a soft ban, when exposed) of slimgur site-wide.

Does it really matter, so long as adblock is turned on and you're not buying gold?

I don't know if Veuwer supports that, but some of Voaters highly discourage Slimgur.
[–] esdf 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago (edited ago)
Do you know why? I mean, i'm not invested in Slimgur in anyway - i'm just curious.

slimgur's connection to FPH means that it won't fold when some schmucks want to take down your content for being offensive.
[–] assholepuke 0 points 16 points 16 points (+16|-0) ago (edited ago)
THANK YOU.
99.9999% of us don't support FPH. But we support their right to exist and not be censored. Sadly, I don't think our schools are doing a good job of teaching this fundamental understanding.
FYI: I usually spend a couple hours a day dicking around on reddit.....for the past several years. I had never even heard of FPH until it was banned. That crowd is much smaller than people pretend it is.

Guilt by association is cancerous SJW filth and you should call it out as such and reject it at every opportunity — not that there is any guilt whatsoever in condemning unhealthy lifestyle choices in the first place.
[–] booblover 0 points 5 points 5 points (+5|-0) ago
It isn't about supporting fph, it is about those that don't like it being mature enough to just leave it alone without whining about every little thing that offends them. Censoring and policing the Internet is what broke the trust with the other site. The point here is to be able to "have your say" without some offended schmuck crying about it and getting admins to agree in the pursuit of money.
