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.

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 :(
Same, when I was a teenager it was Erowid for all my questions, then r/drugs in college. I also loved r/tooktoomuch, which had the best life lessons to offer.
I learned all the thing that kept me safe on there too; and the life story were interesting and also the trip reports and experiment!
This was something I couldn’t get IRL until a long time, and still, is not very active today (my friends and I are all busy we can’t really experiment !! Maybe next time we see each other)
Terrible choice caving into the pseudo-moralists, but they’ve been going down a bad path for a long time. They should’ve looked at the cautionary tale of Tumblr before committing this own goal. Making sweeping changes to fit in with corporate agendas may be popular among their own class, but it also has the longer-term effect of sacrificing the user base. And they’ve been hemorrhaging for a while anyway. Where do they think their future profits will come from?
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.
No porn. No weed.
Wait until they find out that conservatives also jerk off
Just following in Tumblr’s footsteps. They have to sanitize it to fully monetize it.
Hmm, delicious pasteurised reddit.
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…
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.
New Founding Fathers sounds too distinguished. I vote for Foundling Man-babies.
Reason is always “unmoderated” despite some of the banned subreddits being fully moderated.
Well, that’s a lie, because /r/programming still has mods. Pretty sure they did nothing in the last 10 years. I guess it’s because the sub wasn’t NSFW, I guess.
Overwatch r34 ban
So you have chosen death by a thousand exoduses

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.
What would be left if onlyfans got rid of porn? Wtf. I’m not paying to watch someone fix rust on their car.
the tumblr one is so funny because yahoo promised not to screw it up and then they did
All thanks to Apple’s censorship of their forced App Store, which is arguably the worst thing to ever happen to computing. Zero percent joking.
And now there’s still tons of NSFW content, they just started labeling it as NSFT (not safe for Tumblr) to get around the auto censors
My experience is that modern NSFW on tumblr is just porn bots. You used to get really nice, high quality slutty art for whatever TV show or movie character tripped your trigger. Now they have an Ai bot that’s trained itself to flag black and white sfw sketches but not straight up literal tiddy drop videos with spam links below them.
Right, but they purged all the old stuff :'(
in other news, lemmy’s NSFW instances see an influx of users
Dont they have to wait like 2 weeks tho to post images or is that just some instances
Hi folks!
Howdy!
hello and welcome!
this cesspit is less bad!
Remember “Digg” ?
hopefully the fact lemmy is more decentralized should avoid another digg or reddit situation
Lol RIP reddit
that is called a dictatorial show of force
Uhm… interesting hyperbole during a time where America is literally facing down a fascist dictator.
