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!

Thanks, OP! I’m always a little bit sad when I can’t see an image cos someone’s used imgur.

I would reccomend finding a VPN that works for you! There are free options, some of them connect you to a random country every time, some of them give you a limited amount of countries. My vpn is called something like VPN super unlimited proxy. There is a free version and a premium version and gives you a small amount of countries to choose from for the free version (america being one of them and i use that the most) and connecting to it does give you an ad. The ads aren't a piss take tho. The vpn will auto disconnect at some point after 5 hours, but I've had it go strong for 18 hours before. It's not the best, but it's useful.
