Reddit is purging NSFW subs as well as trans-related subreddits

[the_picard_maneuver@lemmy.world]

People were predicting this a while back as a way that reddit would make themselves more "advertiser-friendly".

I also wonder if there were some legal concerns in those states that now require porn sites to check IDs.

It looks like a lot of the subs mentioned in that post are back already. While i completely agree that reddit is a shitstain, this may have been a bug?

[petter1@lemm.ee]

That is good news for my nsfwlemmy.com alt

[petter1@lemm.ee]

Hu? you are here? Aren’t you?

[tramort@programming.dev]

Every reddit user should consider r/redditseppuku

[squirrel@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

It's a very strange coincidence that these are the subreddits that are suddenly experiencing a "bug".

[brucethemoose@lemmy.world]

More like cover for banning certain subs.

[sayjess@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Just thinking the same thing. I wonder if this gets reversed or not.

[warl0k3@lemmy.world]

Don't be a coward, jerk off on your main and your alt!

Tumblr was already in a bad place and was further cannibalized by instagram (and reddit).

Reddit still has no meaningful alternatives. Yes, we like lemmy. Most people don't and won't. They want corporate social media. Just look at how long it took people to leave twitter. And they only did once BlueSky had open sign ups.

[petter1@lemm.ee]

I had it like this in Reddit and my account 90% porn only pretty fast and I missed all the non porn stuff

So starting here on lemmy I decided to go for a split right from beginning on different instances to additionally check each instance’s meta community about downtimes in case of a downtime.

Idk if this distinction works for anyone else, but in my mind places like Reddit or Lemmy aren’t the same thing as “social media” because they maintained the anonymous forum structure. The activity on the site isn’t centered around people and personalities, it’s the content being discussed.

[kat@orbi.camp]

last corporate own social media where a single entiry can remove anything for everybody*

[petter1@lemm.ee]

Strange, same bug as in meta, hmmm! Are they preparing something and went live too early??

Big firewall of US incoming??

[petter1@lemm.ee]

I agree, but with “last social media” he was referring to Reddit…

[darthelmet@lemmy.world]

Oh. Yeah. Maybe he just meant “last” as in the one prior and not last as in final? Idk.

[kaboom@reddthat.com]

/r/rule34 is banned, meanwhile /r/guro is still up. Wtf is wrong with reddit? That's the one sub I actually think should be banned, why ban the rule34?

[mrshelbs@lemmy.ca]

I wasn’t super active (I created my account when they banned third party apps but the content wasn’t there yet).

[arkouda@lemmy.ca]

In my experience it is better to segregate NSFW and SFW accounts. Not because it is shameful and I don't want people seeing, but because NSFW floods feeds and I can't get anything done when encumbered by pretty naked women. lol

[2xsaiko@discuss.tchncs.de]

How about neither of them should be banned. Fuck this puritan BS
