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

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.

Voatpic was also made for voat, and it's up right now.

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

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.

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.

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.

Archive.today, which couldn't stand up to ideological DMCA spamming, has been superseded by archive.is.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

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.

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.

Thanks for the info, I don't know all the technical stuff people are talking about here and I was using Vuewer until it went down. Used Slimgur and Imgur but not any more now I know about the other choices specifically for Voat

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.

And giving them traffic without clicking on ads or buying gold or making content that gets gilded uses up their resources for free.

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

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

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.

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?

There's also https://up1.ca/, which is client-side encrypted and supports more than just images. (creators' voat post)
