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.

There's a slimgur ban on Reddit?

Yes. Any post or comment you make containing a Slimgur link will be automatically removed. The subreddit's mod (or an automoderator rule they create) can override this.
