This includes some porn subreddits as well as subreddits like /r/Drugs. Apparently due to being "unmoderated", but some were not. What are your thoughts?

Edit: apparently also subreddits like /r/transgender_surgeries is banned too. Definitely feels politically motivated.

Certainly expected. It was my last social media (apart from Bluesky). I can't endorse this as a trans man. Time to be more active on Lemmy and purge my Reddit account.

Hu? you are here? Aren’t you?

Idk if this distinction works for anyone else, but in my mind places like Reddit or Lemmy aren’t the same thing as “social media” because they maintained the anonymous forum structure. The activity on the site isn’t centered around people and personalities, it’s the content being discussed.

I agree, but with “last social media” he was referring to Reddit…

[–] darthelmet@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Oh. Yeah. Maybe he just meant “last” as in the one prior and not last as in final? Idk.

The last big tech Social Network 😇

I wasn’t super active (I created my account when they banned third party apps but the content wasn’t there yet).
