“People who call themselves Imgurians upload, browse, vote and comment on images and animated clips called GIFS.[…]By 2011 when [Alan] Schaaf and the team moved the company to San Francisco, Imgur had gone from being a place that hosted images to a hangout for a passionate community of Imgurians.”

“[Sarah] Schaaf is often described as the queen of the “Imgurians,” as users call themselves, monitoring comments and enforcing community guidelines while “figuring out what is going to be the new joke or meme bubbling up,” she says. After noticing that community members were eager to meet up in person, she organized Camp Imgur last August in Mendocino, California, for 500 Imgurians.”

“In an effort to elicit positive feedback (upvotes) from other Imgurians, commenters create normative comments which reinforce social identity.”
