Imgur permabanned me a few years back when they noticed I would post the odd pro-Trump meme or disproved anti-Trump hoaxes that filled their front page. That was unforgiveable. This was long after they flagged #NotYourShield as NSFW.

Later, they shadowbanned all my Imgur albums. At least, that's my suspicion; All my Imgur albums are all 404 now. Not even I can see them. Help tickets are ignored.

One day all my Imgur albums magically became viewable again, so I thought maybe I wasn't shadowbanned but it was just a temporary bug on their end that effected some users and not others. But then... they 404'd again.

The only way I can make Imgur albums now is if I'm logged out. Then it works.

The sad thing is, I began replacing my GamerGate Yearly Retrospectives reddit posts with IMGchest links, but when the Imgur links worked again, I paused because I thought it was just a bug. Now they're broken again, and reddit pushed an update that now prevents banned accounts from editing their old posts (error: status 403).
