The above image is all us folk in the UK see when you do, and if we try to use a VPN + incognito, we get this:

403 means forbidden, so the message is disingenuous.

They must have put some effort into block lists for VPN servers. Even if it works for some of us, it's not worth it.

For more information on this, see this article: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4gzxv5gy3qo

This doesn’t seem like it’s Imgur’s fault for trying to avoid prison. Perhaps more fire is needed in your local MP’s home?

[–] HereIAm@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Them blocking VPNs is a bit much though. At that point I don't feel like it's their responsibility.

[–] remon@ani.social 3 points 6 days ago

I tested a dozen different VPN endpoints and none of them are blocked.

Fucking hell. As someone in the UK who used Imgur, this sucks. Like fuck sake, I'm being fucked by the OSA and the reaction to the OSA.

[–] RVGamer06@sh.itjust.works 8 points 6 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Also happens to me, even if i'm not in the UK. I am on Iliad(italy) btw.

[–] Scrollone@feddit.it 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, with my Italian ISP, Imgur doesn't work. We need a better alternative.

[–] Axolotl_cpp@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Changing DNS should solve it since Italian ISPs block things only on a DNS level, i had the same problem for fitgirl and changing DNS solved it

[–] Scrollone@feddit.it 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

No, it's not DNS censoring. It's Imgur "firewall" that blocks some Italian IPs.

[–] Axolotl_cpp@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Oh, so they didn't had the "AGCOM screen" (AGCOM is what manage telecomunications) i thought they did since they once blocked google drive for mistake lol

[–] sol6_vi@lemmy.makearmy.io 10 points 6 days ago (2 children)

If anyone wants to selfhost their own replacement I just spun up picsur a couple months ago and highly recommend it. Dead simple and lightweight.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

How does that handle the initial flood of requests when every federated instance asks for a freshly posted image all at the same time? Or is that a smaller problem than I am imagining?

[–] sol6_vi@lemmy.makearmy.io 2 points 6 days ago (2 children)

All of my federated stuff has run smoothly with that kinda stuff but I don't think picsur is fed? Is it? 👀 If it is I gotta check that out lol. Mine is isolated. Just use it to dump photos and get quick links
