I've been hanging out in imgur, which is generally nice for memes and cats, and kbin for news. It's been surprisingly effective.

Imgur is a shadow of the brightness it once was. After all the weird UI and ad changes. Plus the NSFW purge, among other issues.

I was convinced imgur was sold to Reddit. Although when searching for this it looks like I was wrong and they were instead sold to MediaLab, though apparently also a very shitty company.

It was created by a Reddit user for the purposes of hosting images posted to Reddit but it was never owned by Reddit

Imgur is owned by the same parent company as Reddit

Edit: apparently I don’t know what I’m talking about

Imgur is owned by MediaLab. Reddit is owned by Advance Publications.

No worries, I thought so too.

You probably got it mixed up in your memory. It was owned by a reddit user, then sold
