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 are banned too. Definitely feels politically motivated. Edit 2: seems like at least some (?) bans are being undone, like the above mentioned ones.

First they came for porn - I didn’t care, because I had a couch, then they came for trans stuff - I didn’t care, because I had a couch, then they came for drugs - I didn’t care, because I had a couch, then my couch broke from active couchfucking and there were nobody to help me fix it.

I’m the people’s politician
I thought Musk was the vice president. I mean president.
direct link that works on firefox unlike that one https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/1iiah18/nsfw_subreddit_purge_many_subs_have_been_banned/
Kinda feels like a warning tbh. Or they’re trying to be another tumblr.
Even took out AskRedditnsfw.
It’s okay though admins may reverse it…
My thoughts? I hope they feel welcome here.
Looks like reddit is using the momentum of starting sub bans as an opportunity to ban things that might land them in hot water legally or politically
- Rule34, and anime porn is banned because r34 is based on existing copyrighted material (and so are the anime subs probably)
- Drugs because of the “war of drugs”.
- transgender_surgeries because the current US administration is profoundly transphobic.
Reddit’s board has been fighting over whether to house porn subs for years now. Spez has been very vocal about how difficult that has been for reddit.
I cry a five gallon bucket of tears for Spez and his difficulties every night before I sleep.
Damn removing the r34 subreddit really is the end of an era.
It’s almost like the free speech absolutists only really cared about allowing one specific type of speech.

Yeah thousands of niche porn subs got banned gor being “unmoderated” over the past few years. I think reddit is slowly trying to reduce the amount of porn on the website to appear better as a company.
They have been trying to become the new “Facebook but not for old people” for the last several years. Like they still want to be hip and appear somewhat niche, yet be mainstream enough to pull in users and advertisers and money. Spez seems to think you can still have it both ways. The extremely small (relatively speaking) amount of people who have left for Lemmy understand you can’t have it that way. (THIS SHIT AINT NO BURGER KING DAWG)
Totally worked for tumblr
If their goal was banning porn and trans sub’s, they are either slow rolling it or doing a terrible job. There is plenty of porn unbanned, and r/transgonewild is still up. I guess we’ll have to wait and see though.
Trans porn is fine, it’s just trans people that they have a problem with.
r/trans is also still up, which is not porn.
Is it time to train some Hunyuan Video/Flux loras or Spez pleasing Trump?
I think it may be. They can’t ban them all by signature if they’re unique.
This morning I just casually checked “ask reddit after dark” sort of a fun sex community like Lemmy “ask lemmy nsfw”. Was surprised that reddit banned that community. I understand the issues they are having with free speech and even trans stuff based on the new Executive Orders of the Trump administration - but I don’t get it with porn. How is narrative, pics, or videos of porn related stuff an issue?
Go study history. Look up something called “McCarthyism”.
Don’t like your neighbors house color? He’s a communist and should be banned!
But…red houses don’t mean he’s a…
I SAID BANNED!!! YOU’RE BANNED TOO, YOU DISAGREEING COMMUNIST!!!
And as long as the controling crowd is mindlessly agreeing with you, it doesn’t need to make sense, or be logical. That’s McCarthyism in a nutshell.
And the best part is, Americans are dumb, don’t learn from history, and don’t see the inevitable happening right now before them. So you can ban anything. Books. Tv shows. Foods. News. Clouds. Yes, clouds. As in the puffy white things in the sky. Banned. I said it doesn’t need to make sense, didn’t I?

Good point that those NOT in an affected state DON’T realize. For example if you are in Florida there is no more Pornhub, Xhamster, etc. Unless of course you are dumb enough to submit a picture ID to those sites for verification. If you add to that social media purges of porn then those affected are basically in a no porn environment. Of course some would make the argument that it’s a good thing. But these are people not hurting anyone. They want to see some porn. What’s the big deal?

Drugs prob saved my friends and I, we never had a bad situation because of reddit I knew dosages, I knew not to do what old top posts had done, just lowered anxiety and got me not to be stupid.
Erowid when I was younger. Then pill reports to make sure what I was getting was what I expected.
I would be dead (and/or in prison) several times over if not for Erowid. This is not an exaggeration.
I recently revisited the site, and even made a donation (now that I can actually afford it).
Basic harm prevention, we were always hydrated, not reading horror stories and seeing all that advice would’ve made me not even think of it
I will love seeing them try to ban noncredibledefense for having LGBTQIA+ flag on it’s profile, having a lot of r34 with planes (if you don’t know the sub, just don’t try to imagine, it will hurt your brain XD), having some gory content (like the meat cube and once again don’t try to imagine XD).
And they are pro-NATO which is something the current administration is not really fond of (including Musk who has been mocked for multiple weeks after his speech about drones vs planes…).
If it really happens, all 400k NCD readers, there is a big NCD community on lemmy so Welcome!
Can you briefly summarise NCD? I’ve been living under a small rock
War shitposting.
Where does the name come from?
incredible defense → non-credible defense → ncd
I think it’s time for me to block posts from this community. Most of us came here as reddit refugees. No one on Lemmy should be suprised about the rapid enshitification of that platform. The best thing anyone can do is walk away completely and don’t look back.
Seems like some of the bans are being undone? Testing the waters? Banning everything until a mod steps forward and says they were actively modding?
Yep, updated the title. Hard to not get conspiratorial though when it affects subs like /r/transgender_surgeries… might be testing the waters.
Is it? The first two nsfw subs I tried, both of them were up.
Is there some theme perhaps to what has been banned? Or are you just … full of shit?
I updated the title to reflect that they were being unbanned as of this moment. But if you look at the thread I linked, this was all true a couple hours ago.
Good, let porn migrate to https://lemmynsfw.com/ - finally more good content on Lemmy
And trans people are always welcome here! Direct them over to Lemmy as much as you can
