Like Reddit, but full of idiots. The comments section on any picture is disturbingly similar to the comments section on an /r/circlejerk post. Instead of having meaningful discussions like Reddit, they spend all day looking at cats, reading sob stories that are obviously bullshit, posting selfies, and posting albums about how much of an asshole their boyfriend was today, comprised entirely of irrelevant Disney gifs. Again, these stories are obviously bullshit.
The comments section is a mess. Imgur is similar to Reddit in that they downvote any opinion that does not agree with their own. As such, most of the top comments are something along the lines of "+1, I laughed!", "+1 for Game of Thrones/funny word that you used in the post everyone else read!", "I genuinely chortled (a word imgur loves to use) out loud, good sir/madam, have my upvote!", "To the front page with you!" and much, much more. A good amount of posts on imgur are reposts, and most of the comments are.
User sub:
Imgur was created to host Reddit's pictures, but later someone decided to give it it's own community that can post their own pictures. User sub was born: A shithole that most of the sob stories/selfies/disney gif stories/Tom Hiddleston fangirl posts come from. People that browse it like to think they're special because of it, but they're not.
In short, it's a horrible site with horrible people and the only reason I still go there is when I want to see pictures from Reddit.
Stick to Reddit.

The greatest image site. Full of the all the wonders and magic of the interwebs. Be forewarned, time has been known to quicken in this realm.

Noun: A petty online community with a collective inferiority complex.
Imgur is a safe haven for maladjusted social rejects and misanthropes with daddy issues.
Do not make the mistake of sharing new or different opinions with these people; they don't like them. Anything that isn't a cat, an attractive woman, or a bare-faced lie will be instantly downvoted.
The downvote is the favoured weapon (real weapons scare them) of the emotionally fragile, thin-skinned imgur user, allowing them the only control over their lives that they have, and letting them live in a magical little fairy world where they get to pretend that opinions that threaten their delicate sensibilities don't exist.
This is a safe space for losers to project their self-hatred onto normal people. A place where cowards hide behind names faker than their personalities to spew hatred at people whose opinions don't fit with theirs. A hallowed ground for wannabe tough guys to come to be the third rate high school bullies they've always wanted to be, but never could be in the real world, because in the real world you actually face consequences for sending death threats to people because you don't like their decisions, or telling people to kill themselves when they have opinions that don't fit in with yours.

The simple image sharer, where you go to look at pictures and gifs. of kittens and boobs. If you have homework or a test this is the place to go to fail your class. Imgurians Unite!
Never go on to imgur if you have homework, im

Give up on a social life because unlike reddit we're a family so
You better believe it. Hey everybody look
Up you just got rick rolled.

Imgur is, by far, the greatest procrastination site on the Internet, where you share and rate images and GIFs. With content uploaded everyday, where you can spend your life mindlessly laughing and reading, it's just the greatest. It is often compared to Reddit, but just solely with images.
Imgur's comment section is usually hilarious, until you get to the comment section that says "Bad comments"
These comments have more down votes than up votes, and are usually hate, spam, ect.
