Something big is happening, as Reddit seems to have purged literally every NSFW sub they know. Reason is always “unmoderated” despite some of the banned subreddits being fully moderated.


Edit: seems to have been a bug in automation (thanks @lefty7283@lemmy.world):

It’s still a good reminder on how quickly a community (or communities) thousands of people enjoy and in some cases rely upon can disappear.

    You mean all my reddit porn is now gone?

    Fuck it. They all should migrate to Lemmy. There was some hard to find porn that I haven’t saved yet…

    No porn = more horny people = more births

    No abortion = more births

    The logic driving US legislation everyone, it’s not so much “protect the children” thinking as “make the children have children” thinking.

    Honestly, they’ve guaranteed that the US therapy industry is going to have patients for decades to come!

      No abortions can equal less births. Women aren’t going to want to take the risk of getting pregnant if there isn’t a safety net if things go wrong.

        You might want to crack a sex education reader with special attention to possibilities of error.

        Unfortunately, young and uninformed people will keep falling in love and getting tingly about it.

      As with anything thiose Nazi does if therapy still exist when they are done with the health sector it will be to make sure the child are well brainwashed after the education camp ( or whatever will replace education in most red state )

    Reddit is run by big business and greedy corporate America. When it went public for the stock price to make even more money then it did before, I left that place.

    I see they’re following the Tumblr model:

    • Get bought at overinflated values.
    • Ban all NSFW content.
    • Users leave and seek NSFW content elsewhere.
    • Valuation plummets.
    • “Actually, moderating NSFW is really hard you guys. We’re just going to try best efforts moderation only.”
    • Sell at near total loss.
    • There is still NSFW content on the platform, and the policy is used as a cudgel against LGBTQ accounts.

    <tinfoil hat> Other corporate social media has also had “bugs” that delete or hide advertiser unfriendly content, with staff scrambling to go “oopsie!”. That ain’t a bug, they’re testing something. </tinfoil hat>

      I don’t think this is really tinfoil hat. I’d like to see they explain how it just happened to remove that subset and not other things.

    According to a post from our Admin, in the small instance I’m in there has been a sudden influx of new users (about 200) in the last day or so (as new users have to be approved, somebody is getting cramps on their approve finger).

    (Guess Anarchism and Piracy could technically count as NSFW in most workplaces, especially the latter)

    Good news to me. I can watch reddit and twitter self destruct from the comfort of the Fediverse. Welcome home, fellow refugees.
