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

[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.

[darthelmet@lemmy.world]

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.

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.

/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

[alexc@lemmy.world]

The kind where they were getting ready to do it, and then pulled the trigger early

[async_amuro@lemm.ee]

I’d stopped using the platform a while ago and went full Lemmy, but this was the push I needed to delete that shit out of my life. Just need to figure out Google and Apple next, they’ve got me by the balls with those services!

[muhyb@programming.dev]

Now they say it was a bug? How that works?

[stoy@lemmy.zip]

The reaction was the bug.

[stoy@lemmy.zip]

Fine, I'll get an NSFW alt...

[kaboom@reddthat.com]

Do you know what /r/guro is? It's sexualized gore.

[saharamaleikuhm@feddit.org]

Maybe testing the waters. Next time it will be a bug so severe that they can't bring them back, but making new ones isn't allowed either.

[muhyb@programming.dev]

Knowing current Reddit, that's quite possible. Though I'd love to see a migration through LemmyNSFW if that happens again permanently.

[fizz@lemmy.nz]

Ah the tumblr guide for how to kill your community.

Jokes aside that's very sad and very worrying.

[fizz@lemmy.nz]

How is nsfw Lemmy doing for hosting costs? Seems like it would be expensive to maintain all the images.
