Reddit Embraces NSFW Desktop Image Uploads Amidst Imgur's Ban

Reddit will now allow users to upload NSFW images from desktops in adult communities, bringing feature parity across platforms. This comes after Imgur announced it would ban explicit photos from May 15, which could impact many of Reddit's communities that rely on Imgur's hosting services. Reddit's move to allow native NSFW uploads through desktop may be the most logical solution going forward. However, the company is also discussing how to navigate the situation of limiting access to mature content available through its API, which would impact third-party Reddit apps.
