I Was A High School Teacher For Decades. This Is What Your Kids Will Lose If The Far Right Gets Its Way.
"Most people don’t see schools as life-saving institutions, but I sometimes witnessed life’s most fragile moments."Nancy Jorgensen (HuffPost)
The once great, but now a shadow of it's former self, image sharing site Imgur is having a bit of a moment. The site was recently sold to MediaLabs who have plastered the site in ads, replaced moderation with AI and fired most of the staff. This has resulted in some parts of the site failing to function e.g. the entire notifications system.
Media Labs performance has been so bad it has pushed the numerically small but devoted remaining users to realise their power. The users of Imgur have united in rebellion to protest and have covered the entire front page in images disparaging the company. The site is entirely dependent on the users posting things to generate its income. The site owners literally add nothing except ads.
This is an exemplar to the rest of our society, struggling as we are under the weight of parasites who only detract from our efforts for their own gain.

Good afternoon...
We have just had a lush lunch at Jacqueline's vegetarian and vegan café in #RossonWye.
We are now awaiting some lovely cake. 😄

That would be a tough choice between the two, they both look delicious. And the cake, did it get a photo, too?
We had driven to 2 apple growers in the general area here (30+ miles away) only to find one empty, and the other one completely overrun with people, mostly children.
Realized as we escaped without stopping (or getting cider, or apple pie) that this weekend was the town's yearly Apple Festival and my gods did we pick the wrong day to visit.
I would enjoy vicarious cake in lieu of my missing pie.

Imgur protest covers the front page in anti-MediaLab memes
Anna Washenko (Engadget)Ooze 𓁟
in reply to Ooze 𓁟 • • •Day three of the Imgur user rebellion. The site owners post about the rebellion. It is a wall of text that is not well received by the users. In it the company claims both that no one was fired but that there are "less of us here" to handle the workload. The company also claims to not be doing any of the things the users have documented that they are clearly doing. They claim no one was fired while statements by ex employees saying they were fired have been posted by users.
It is as if the company doesn't read its own site and doesn't think the users communicate with each other.

Users are flooding the front page with "The gif" as it is known on Imgur. A pornographic Marvell gif which has previously been a guarantee of an instant ban and instant removal of the post. Many copies of the gif have been showing on the front page all day without being removed.
Sorry these posts are out of order. I was unable to post for a couple of days and am filling in the blanks.
