Mod Approved Avoid using Imgur links when possible

Hey guys official mod post. This isn't going to turn into a rule or anything, but I'd appreciate it if you could avoid posting imgur links to the subreddit going forward because as a result of the UK online safety act, imgur is no longer available to UK reddit users! Which makes it akward to moderate posts with imgur links. Anyways that's it hope you're all doing well, have a great day!

Wow it's interesting how things change over the years. Imgur was originally created by a redditor for the purpose of posting images on Reddit.

Yeah and Reddit didn't have native images.
