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.
You mean all my reddit porn is now gone?
Fuck it. They all should migrate to Lemmy. There was some hard to find porn that I haven't saved yet...
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)
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.
Some would, some would rather go to Lemmy.
Let's goon
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...
Miss that series so much
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.
