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.

That's what it looks like. There are a lot of NSFW subs that didn't get banned, and some that got banned that weren't NSFW like /r/narcissisticabuse. All marked as for "being unmoderated". If they were actually banning NSFW subs, you'd think they'd say so.

Thankfully /r/cumsluts has been spared... for now!

Terrible choice caving into the pseudo-moralists, but they've been going down a bad path for a long time. They should've looked at the cautionary tale of Tumblr before committing this own goal. Making sweeping changes to fit in with corporate agendas may be popular among their own class, but it also has the longer-term effect of sacrificing the user base. And they've been hemorrhaging for a while anyway. Where do they think their future profits will come from?

No porn = more horny people = more births

No abortion = more births

The logic driving US legislation everyone, it's not so much "protect the children" thinking as "make the children have children" thinking.

Honestly, they've guaranteed that the US therapy industry is going to have patients for decades to come!

I sure am grateful for how easy it is to avoid porn on lemmy, may that continue to be the case with the certain upcoming influx of it.
