Facebook Engineer blocks photosharing site imgur, apologises in Reddit fashion

• carleverett 14y ago
  I thought it was a legitimate block at first. Half of my newsfeed is imgur links that pretty much all qualify as spam. It's one of the reasons I've moved away from Facebook. ...I don't want to sound like a crotchety "I'm leaving Facebook" person, but it's deteriorated my experience to the point where I don't visit as often. That being said, blocking imgur would not be the appropriate way of solving that problem.

    Easy fix: As not imgur or facebook are responsible for the spam but your friends, just unfriend them or remove them from your newsfeed.

      So you are blaming users for myspace's fail? or myspace itself which created a platform that led users to make myspace useless.

        He is saying you failed because you have stupid friends.

          Pretty much:)

        Think about what FB/imgur enable people to do and what myspace enabled people to do.

  Why is this a link to thenextweb.com instead of directly to reddit?
