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!

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.

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 )

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.

EO on federal porn ID requirement incoming?

It doesn't look like all the NSFW subs are banned yet, but it wouldn't surprise me if that happens soon.

[–] dditty@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

Looks like maybe they're starting with the main ones‽

Hmm, maybe they reverted? Everything still seems accessible right now

Edit: the ones on the screen seem down but there are definitely still some nsfw subreddits still open. Either the purgening has just begun or those fit some kind of criteria for a ban.

I always had a feeling this was gonna happen. I don’t think they can put ads on nsfw subreddits so they are effectively a leech on resources. Gotta get those profits.

I am glad that I left this piece of shit place 2 years ago.

I know people here probably don't want to jump back across, but people are actually wondering if this isn't just NSFW and if it's political..

Apparently a bug that has happened before.

[–] amju_wolf@pawb.social 9 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Huh? Do you have a source for that?

Seem to have a big wave of shill and bot ( and private scam DM ) all with Nickname with a leaf emoji at the end to the point where i auto block every name i see with them
