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.
<tinfoil hat> Other corporate social media has also had “bugs” that delete or hide advertiser unfriendly content, with staff scrambling to go “oopsie!”. That ain’t a bug, they’re testing something. </tinfoil hat>
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.
I sure am grateful for how easy it is to avoid porn on lemmy, may that continue to be the case with the certain upcoming influx of it.
There’s porn here?
It’s segregated to lemmynsfw.com, which most instances don’t federate with
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.
So is there gonna be more porn on lemmynsfw now?
Certainly.
Nice.
I am glad that I left this piece of shit place 2 years ago.
The gooners are coming!
Literally
They have been coming back. /drugs being one that is back. Don’t know wtf happened, but glad I’m here.
I welcome all the porn y’all want to post …
Typo
Or is it just the typ?
Reddit accelerates it’s own downfall
Normies will still use it, despite that it will be filled mostly with AI content in near future.
First they came for the NSFW, and I did not speak out—because I was not NSFW.
Reddit is preparing to surrender to somebody who does not want NSFW content on their site in an attempt to appease advertisers. Possibly Musk.
Could be going for IPO finally.
reddit ipo was last march

Yea, didn’t realize that, I’ve just been on Lemmy.
Actually, it went on the market last year.
Shows how littel attention I’ve given it since coming to Lemmy, lmao
Lol maybe a good thing
Definitely has been, lmao
Reddit went public a year ago…
Oh really? Lmao, shows how little I’ve been paying attention to it
The anti-porn conservatives have always been about controlling women.
That woman who founded OnlyFans driving around in 10 different Lamborghinis, that’s their worst fucking nightmare.
Before that, it was that one lady whose husband died and then she discovered massive oil reserves under her land.
That kind of stuff is an existential threat to the patriarchy, which conservative control freaks must preserve at any cost.
They cannot allow women to become self-sufficient and thereby self-determinative. Otherwise, who will take care of the men, and raise the men’s babies?
Literally why witch hunts existed. It was just a way for authorities to expropriate the wealth of some random dowager who won’t remarry (and therefore automatically cede all property to her new husband).
Also, frankly, I think sexual repression is just a HUGE part of the control mechanisms these people employ. Basically, “joy” is seen as a “sin” because there should “only be joy in God” or some stupid bull shit. You are supposed to take bride in being as missrable as possible so in the afterlife you will get eternal joy or whatever.
And nothing of value was lost
Many of these subreddits were not straight up porn. But then again, it is Reddit, should nuke the site altogether.
Exactly
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.
No, your canaries are already long dead. It’s long been a process when Reddit admins don’t want a sub to exist but it isn’t actually breaking any rules to laser focus on the moderators, ban them the moment they have an excuse, immediately ban the sub for being unmoderated, refuse to give it to a new mod via reddit request and ban any replacement subs for recreating a banned sub. Hell, r/GamingCircleJerk has been laughing about some right wing gaming memes sub having that done to it just a few weeks ago.
They only care about it not looking like they are just nuking subs they don’t like is because they don’t want to scare off other users who might get antsy about having a community under those sorts of capricious admins.
This sounds a lot like an automation of that process that misfired. That they were all specifically banned for being “unmoderated” is what jumps out to me as telling.
of course we’re on pawb.social lmao.
based instance
It’s funny because I watch zero NSFW content on Reddit or Lemmy.
Spoiler
Have way better sources for that, you know 😏
it really is funny. furries have the best image board for the worst content. (or not, depending on how you see it i suppose)
furries stay winning, what can i say.
this was literally why i still kinda used reddit. welp hello lemmynsfw!
