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.
Apparently a bug that has happened before.
A bug? You mean someone in the office accidentially pressed the big red 'purge-everything-unholy-for-when-the-evangelicals-come-after-us' button?
Huh? Do you have a source for that?
Seem to have a big wave of shill and bot ( and private scam DM ) all with Nickname with a leaf emoji at the end to the point where i auto block every name i see with them
A Reddit comment on a trans community on my feed. That’s all I remember man, didn’t think about it twice to be honest.
Seems you're right. I tried a few subs when the original comment was posted and they didn't work but now they seem to be back.
To be fair, it's still a good thing to remember that it takes like one press of a button to kill a shitton of communities a lot of people care about.
