I don't know if Veuwer supports that, but some of Voaters highly discourage Slimgur.

Do you know why? I mean, i'm not invested in Slimgur in anyway - i'm just curious.

Yes, but they're wrong. We should go with the platform designed for robust free speech instead of the one whose commitment to that hasn't been tested yet.

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

Or your alternative of choice. Doesn't really matter.

FWIW, the new landing page is a hell of a lot better than the old one.

slimgur's connection to FPH means that it won't fold when some schmucks want to take down your content for being offensive.

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.

The site doesn't load for me. Have you tried it recently or is it just me. (edit). It's currently down. I wonder if the same DDoS attack Voat is under is also happening to veuwer. I don't know how they are associated if at all.

That's because it went down sometime in the last 50 minutes.

Even when using the archived version of Reddit, content that is linked to imgur will drive traffic to imgur. There's no way around that.

I know Imgur was created FOR reddit, but I thought it was separately owned. Why should we avoid it?

Nope, a single VC firm (Andreessen Horowitz) has the main chunk of imgur and a big holding in reddit. reddit also has a direct stake in imgur.

From what I understand, they are using many of the same censorship policies as reddit.

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.

I said this right after the firing - "You want voat to grow, you want Reddit to burn. Stop pouring your traffic on the fire."

Archive.today, which couldn't stand up to ideological DMCA spamming, has been superseded by archive.is.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.

Voatpic was also made for voat, and the owner has stated in comments that the only way he'll remove photos is with a valid DCMA takedown request, i.e. illegal posts.

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.

Ah really? Then why did everyone suddenly swap to .is after the DMCA raids?

Very odd.
