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.

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!

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

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...

Lol they still didn't ban r/piracy?

That's so surprising, I thought it would be one of the first ones to go...

Just following in Tumblr's footsteps. They have to sanitize it to fully monetize it.

Couldn't have happened to a scummier hive of villainy. I wil unironically applaud every bad thing that happens to the site.

Nothing of value lost, there are uncountable alternatives.

Lol RIP reddit

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.

Terrible choice caving into the pseudo-moralists, but they've been going down a bad path for a long time. They should've looked at the cautionary tale of Tumblr before committing this own goal. Making sweeping changes to fit in with corporate agendas may be popular among their own class, but it also has the longer-term effect of sacrificing the user base. And they've been hemorrhaging for a while anyway. Where do they think their future profits will come from?
