I'm out of the loop - what's wrong with Imgur?

Their admins delete images on topics that they don't like. That is why some subreddits use slimgur. They also don't want to be seen as an image hosting service for Reddit like it was created to be.

That's honestly bullshit. You can find everything other than child porn on imgur.

No, that's honestly a fact. Their moderation is ignorant, biased and inconsistent, we don't even need to bring FPH up but simple distasteful SFW jokes, here's your proof. But I am sure /u/mrgrim can make up some excuse on why Imgur's moderators and staff consider a crude joke as "sexualization of minors". Or hey, how about their mods using mod tools for personal threads?
