This site used to be very nice
Reviewed on 2021-03-23T12:56:48
This site used to be very nice, always used to go there if i needed a laugh. Also used it as a host for my pictures.In a year or so it has turned into a political echochamber. I'm always ready to discuss politics, but people berate eachother for having differing views there. Absolutely do not recommend this site to anyone anymore. Simply put, it's a toxic community.

Imgur has become an echo chamber for weaponized liberal hatred. It embodies mob mentality.The hate speech you will encounter here for having a different opinion is disgusting.should have a disclaimer only far left progressives need install.

TL;DR: Nowadays it's a pro-socialist political bubble that even sensible leftists shouldn't partake in.

I've had an Imgur account for about 4 years now and I must admit that in the recent years the site has become far too leftist.What used to be a community about sharing memes, pet pictures, DIY projects and other hobbies has turned into a leftist hatespeech forum dedicated to insulting anything not supporting leftist/liberal ideas or views, sometimes even promoting violence towards groups and individuals considered "too right-wing" or conservative (not just far-right movements like the nazis).
The front page reflects it's users radicalized political views with posts promoting leftist and pro-socialist views and users praising political violence towards non-leftist groups and government officials, afflicted by radical groups such as Antifa.
The most upvoted users themselves voice their wish partake in said violence and often times share comments (with hundreds of upvotes) about wishing to see certain politicians physically harmed/killed, because they do not share similar political views.
As mentioned, the front page nowadays consists of leftist political posts. This is because the Imgur community is quick to trample the few centrist to right wing posts that get any attention. Also any comment or post questioning or disagreeing with left-wing ideas or policies is often times massively downvoted and the users ridiculed by the left leaning majority.
TL;DR:
Nowadays it's a pro-socialist political bubble that not even sensible leftists should partake in.

Intolerant Left-Wing Bullies

Oh sure, you can post and find cat gifs if that’s what you’re into. But you’re going to have to sort through a bunch of far-left,intolerant, discriminatory bullying by the vast majority of members and moderators. God forbid you post anything critical of liberals or social democommunists; that will get you banned. You can only post negative and abusive content if it is critical of right-leaning or conservative people or politics. The only useful thing about hanging out on Imgur for a bit is that it allows you to get a real understanding of how warped is the world view of the millennial slackers.

Used to be a nice place.
Reviewed on 2021-02-22T18:47:03
Been on Imgur for about 4 years now and when I first joined it was just a place to store my images of characters and locations with some info on each image for D&D type stuff.I quickly found it to have lots of good memes, artist posting their work, and the occasional news/did you know stuff. If it had stayed that way this would be a 4 star review. Now there was stuff that definitely annoyed me and put me off sometimes such as people getting mad over little stupid things like spelling errors or getting unreasonably mad over selfie’s. Every year however it got worse and worse. I’m pretty left leaning on most things politically but dear god it’s a radical haven now. It was always pretty political, but it’s terrible now. You cannot think against the group, you can’t even talk about how political it is. I used to follow three different people on the sight who left because of the political stuff. One because they went against the grain, one because they got bullied off the sight because they dared to make posts about it becoming too political, and the other just left because of stuff like that. Also good lord never respond with humor to anything. It’ll go over a lot of heads there and I hate to generalize but jeez was it way too often that I would reply to something with a joke and it turned into a damn philosophical argument on what is humor because they didn’t think it was funny. Also people there have always complained about reposts, but if it’s the same comic about depression they won’t care and campion it as gold standard writing. I deal with seasonal depression every year and have friends who also deal with issues worse than me, but we all agreed that people on imgur are extremely self pitying and beg for attention on those posts of the same comic you’ll see on the most viewed posts like three times a day. It’s like they don’t even try to take care of themselves.It used to be a pretty cool website, but now it’s filled with pretentious people, people that demand the world love them because they have depression, and hard left politics everywhere. I know it probably sounds like one of those far right nut bags who can’t stand anything slightly to the left, but it really is a far left website now and if you’re like me who was just looking for wholesome memes and nerd art it gets really annoying when everything is just “The world is evil and doomed cry, cry now” posts you’ll do everything you can to try and ignore it.
