Reddit purges all NSFW subreddits
(pawb.social)
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.
I'm against the ban, but I also don't want that gooning here. Although that's what drives like half of the internet so maybe it's a good thing for the fediverse.
pretty much just lemmynsfw, and nsfw can easily be turned off here
It'll be constrained to pro-gooning instances, most seem to be defederated from porn but the influx of users in general will spill over to the non-gooning instances.
Like - a lot of Reddit users seemed to have accounts specifically to interact with porn, I think that transfers well into the Fediverse, you just get your porn account on an instance that is federated with the porn ones.
Yep, and that will have spillover. There isn't going to be an increase in porn on non-porn instances, but the growth of porn instances will increase general users, though not at a 1 to 1 rate.
That's how mine works, and I use different apps to browse porn so those apps are logged into the correct account always.
Many technologies lived and died based on what the gooners chose, e.g. VHS vs betamax. I welcome them
As a horny pedant I need to tell you that's not why Betamax failed.
Is it one of those internet "facts" like the eating spiders in your sleep one?
Betamax was used by climbers^1 , clearly everyone went with vhs to avoid them.
^1 a recomended sequence of moves is called a beta to this day

You can just block that instance
And disable NSFW, filter words etc.
