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.
I see they're following the Tumblr model:
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)
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.
Let's goon
I welcome all the porn y'all want to post ....
Typo
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?
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)
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.
Oh that's the most vile and gut wrenchingly nauseating comment i read all year. Well done and well said.
Porn is made by actors who sometimes roleplay scenes that aren't actually real.
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.

This is the whole point of these porn bans is to remove queer people from the internet. The porn cover just allows it to happen. So whenever you see anything about porn bans think queer ban first and then some porn removal that comes right back
of course we're on pawb.social lmao.

It's funny because I watch zero NSFW content on Reddit or Lemmy.
Spoiler
Have way better sources for that, you know 😏
My guess is that they’re expecting some new federal anti-porn legislation and are prepping for that. Porn is already basically outlawed in much of the south, (if not explicitly, then implicitly due to how many hoops porn makers need to jump through), and republicans have made it clear that they want to bring conservative policies at the federal level so liberal states can’t overrule them.
It’s on the list for project 2025.
that's funny because I was banned for saying fireworks in Brampton Ontario
Yeah this worked out great for OnlyFans, Tumblr, and Flickr. At least OnlyFans was smart enough to remember which side their bread was buttered on.
