Sadly those imgur auto features often get kicked back by imgur as botting.

Overall, I just us a different image host like maga.host or something.

Yup. And as pozzed as Imgur as an organization is, and how much they support being on The Right Side of History (along with denizens there that use it like a ctrl-left neo-4chan, trawling through popular posts and reporting them for wrong-think and other perceived "naughtiness"), Saidit might do well finding another image host to replace using Imgur as default.

I realized Imgur is large and well known, but they serve a particular set of ideologies that don't jive with free speech or a moderate/neutral ground for discussion and opinion, such as Saidit supports.

KEKpe.pe is the replacement for MagaImg.net after that site was suspended by CloudFlare for supposed terms of service violations, and their URL blacklisted from pretty much all social media sites.

CloudFlare refused to provide proof of or even give a meaningful answer beyond "We may at our sole discretion suspend or terminate your access to the Website at any time, with or without notice for any reason or no reason at all." Magaimage.net later shut down that URL after determining the whole "just create your own host/protection/payment processor/internet/etc" situation for "Wrong-think Websites" was beyond their capability to win, since so many sites (Reddit, FB, Twitter, Insta, etc.) quietly blocked and banned any and all images hosted from that TLD.

This is another reason why users here have told /u/Magnora7 to distrust CloudFlare, because at any moment, for no provided (and therefore addressable/fixable) reason at all, they'll terminate your protection and throw you to the wolves.

Image Chest

Image Chest is another in-progress site that has many of the features people look for in an image host alternative to Imgur, but it is still working out bugs and scaling up capacity and reliability as it can afford to. Because it is niche, it is, of course, host to many of "teh sexy pics". Imgur has that too, just they keep it off their front page to offer a SFW site until one lifts up the veneered surface.

FunkyIMG

I can't find out much about this site, but it appears to have potential. If it is truly a decent alternative to Imgur, and doesn't hold water for a particular political agenda (right or left), it may very well be viable.
