Talk is cheap, actions show intent: Imgcat has already registered as a non-profit, brought on a team of seasoned moderators from multiple sites to build a community focused framework, and begun building a network of like-minded groups rejecting the relentless enshitification of the web.

Our approach is not just a new website, but a user-led community and sustainable non-profit business structure that keeps us honest and transparent. The ImgCat ethos is: do better, because you deserve respect, and a warm & welcoming community that we can all call home.

You are up to date.
