The mods of a gaming sub I frequent marked it as NSFW to prevent Reddit from earning ad revenue. There's some discontent from a vocal minority of users about the change.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
I have a few subs that I keep subscribed to but it is only a small handful. Basically I am done with that site. One or two refreshs and maybe a post. If I don't find the right communities here, I will just break down and create them.
Seems to be nearly business as usual. There are still fuck spez posts and some are still blackout or marked nsfw. Boost was still working fine until today so I kept using it
I unsubbed from all my main 'normal' subs. The only stuff in my feed now is nfsw stuff (yes, porn) and that all seems to be mostly unaffected but I've noticed that the content isn't as active.
A large chunk was spam posts with posting tools I believe. I'm guessing those are now affected by the changes. I don't know if permanent or temporary.
Feels like the type of content posted on Reddit these days are one of those low-effort meme-like posts that you'd often seen on Twitter.
Reddit is doing fine. You can just browse to their website and check it out you know.
Haha thanks, I am aware they are/have a website. But the dark side is strong and corruptive, so I’m afraid I will want to go back if I go check it out.
Reddit still has better porn, for all other things I do not give a f**k.
But you can't use good gallery apps to view it now.

Truthfully, nothing changed from my perspective. I mostly use some sports subs, a couple of technical subs, and book subs and they've fully gone back to how they were and seem as active as they were. Many mods in those subs received backlash after re-opening for even protesting at all, since many users didn't know or care about the issue to begin with.
This has been my experience also. Sports, games, tech support subs all seem the same as ever.
I've been farming it for content for a few communities here. The last month worth of content is pretty bad. Where before 8 in 10 posts were on target now maybe two in 10 posts are on target.
Moderators are kind of over the b******* in many of the subreddits.
