Now this, interesting to see a site from day 1 coming up and (probably) going down.
I wish imgur would go away entirely. It’s such a toxic community of people. If you are not aligned with their doctrine you get spammed with downvotes and some of the most hateful replies I’ve ever seen. You report it but it stays there.
To test this in practice, I just went ahead and uploaded an image of Michaelangelo's "David" which has been a topic of recent controversy. https://imgur.com/a/aTiH5lk Let's see if that violates these new "guidelines."
I'm still waiting for the day when people will stop being absurdly neurotic about sexuality and just let people share their stuff as long as it's age flagged appropriately. It's so absurd that the most normal thing on earth is put into the same moderation category as harassment or hate speech.
If I said that Earth was at the center of the solar system, up is down and the sky is green you would tell me that I'm wrong and misinformed, but if I said that I believe in a magical man in the sky who can walk on water and will send everyone to Hell for eternity for looking at porn then suddenly my "faith" has to be respected and everyone else has to change their behaviors to accommodate it. It's utter nonsense.
The pendulum has clearly started to swing back to sexual repression. Society has started to see sexual freedom and expression as grotesque. Now the only question is how far it'll swing.
I think we live in an increasingly neo-victorian age. It's not just sex. It has become toxic to express a wide range of opinions. For example, the systematic deplatforming of conservatives. (I am a liberal, and my need to state that to be taken seriously is further evidence of all this.)
Post all the conservative political opinions you want. As long as you stay away from posting hate, personal attacks, and similar, you're not going to lose your Twitter account

I also use old.reddit all the time but come on, you seriously can't mean it's a good mobile experience. The text is tiny and you need to zoom in and out all the time just to be able to read anything. It becomes exhausting reading a comment thread by all the zooming. The image posts also don't have the actual image embedded, which makes it a really bad experience on mobile when you have to go to another URL just to lo…
I agree, yet old.reddit is still 100x better to use than the main Reddit site, which really illustrates just how awful and user hostile their main website is (especially on mobile).

You sure? Twitter is notoriously known for asking for users phone number in every account, its practically impossible to have an active account without adding your phone number.
Twitter literally lets you log in to multiple accounts from the same session. You can reuse the same emails & phone numbers too. So contrary to what you say, the practice of having "alts" is pretty much encouraged.
I don't think you can use the same email on multiple accounts at the same time, but using address extensions or creating new emails is easy.

The guidelines have an example of a nude art statue and says it is okay.

When you can go to old.reddit.com to view it, they're not actually forcing anyone.
If you know about it, and for as long as it exists. It's also not adapted for mobile.
