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

[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

[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.

[devfuuu@lemmy.world]

And it's pretty wild when trying to scroll anything in public or with people nearby.

[slumberlust@lemmy.world]

LTT had a few videos on degoogling your life. Provides some alternatives to each service.

[pdxfed@lemmy.world]

This is the opportunity the Fediverse was waiting for.

[orclev@lemmy.world]

Just like reddit it mostly doesn't host the images itself, but simply links to them. Redgif seems to be the host of choice for most, although some also use catbox.

[db2@lemmy.world]

They clearly have a list.

[confused_emus@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Testing a new AI moderator in production, I’d wager.
