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 @[email protected]):

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.
I see they're following the Tumblr model:
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.
Did they? I just looked and my porn multi is still full of everything I expect it to be.
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.
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)
Let's goon
Good news to me. I can watch reddit and twitter self destruct from the comfort of the Fediverse. Welcome home, fellow refugees.
They would rather hop into another corpo boat instead of choosing an instance.
I welcome all the porn y'all want to post ....
Typo
Or is it just the typ?
I don't care about NSFW subs per se, but they're useful canaries in the coal mine. If they're gone gone, it's a fine indicator of what's about to come next.
First they came for the NSFW, and I did not speak out—because I was not NSFW.
this was literally why i still kinda used reddit. welp hello lemmynsfw!
Remember when tumblr got rid of porn and everyone stopped using it.
Reminds me of an old favorite CollegeHumor video comedy skit series - "A Message From Your Favorite CEO" featuring the Tumblr CEO...
Lol they still didn't ban r/piracy?
That's so surprising, I thought it would be one of the first ones to go...
🤔
Since when is drinking rum, singing sea shanties, and downloading content hidden behind a monthly subscription in 4k illegal?
in other news, lemmy's NSFW instances see an influx of users
I wonder if we'll see enough users for interactive communities to take off. I'm into literate erotic roleplay (basically cowriting smut), but there's never been enough folks on the fediverse for me to try to get into it.
r/transgender_surgeries wasn't porn. It was a community outlet for results so people could understand what to expect. Queer folk always get swept up with porn, cishet only see us as a "kink" and assume our existence is entirely sexual.
It's fucking infuriating.
You... see who's in charge, right? Republicans always target LGBTQ+ folks for "pornographic" violations.
r/drugs has been banned?? That was one of my favorite place on Reddit back in the days :(I haven't found a community for that here :(
(Edit: Drug Reddit was amaziiing, especially r/shrooms r/trees r/dxm | can't really start a community because I'm not regular enough in this area, I guess that's a good thing)
That's so sad. It was not a sub to sell anything but to help and comfort those who need it in this space.
OK but how the FUCK did r/forcedcreampie survive the purge?
Under the New Founding Fathers, forced cream pies are ok, willing abortions are not.
A baby is a cream pie that has finished cooking.
Porn is made by actors who sometimes roleplay scenes that aren't actually real.
