What? Why is it blocked and for whom? I've had far fewer issues with it than I've had with the often slow-loading imgbb and the short time when imgbb went all-in on full-paid access before they changed their mind and went back to allowing a free tier.
for whom?
Me, and many others
Why is it blocked
You'll have to ask them. They insist they aren't, but I promise you I am not blocking them either, so it's them.
This was not a tech support request. I promise you all that I know what I am doing and it is not on my side and I'm not the only person with this exact problem.

Could it be someone between you and them? Is there a bug report or discussion tracking this problem which people could try to help solve?
Is it blocked on a VPN?

I can't even open links to that site through Tor, and not because the site answers with 403, but because it never connects at all.

Funny thing is, this is posted on lemmy.world by a user registered on lemmy.world, and that instance includes its own image-hosting functionality. Just need to choose the option to upload the image when making the post. I'm guessing some apps might not be aware of it, and perhaps integrate with Catbox instead.

This is in fact the same consideration that easily resolves some philosophical questions about self-driving cars. “If the car has to choose between mowing over a pedestrian and swerving but potentially killing the driver, what will it choose?” Yeah this one is simple: if you make a car that might kill its driver, good luck trying to sell it.
