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.

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?

My guess is that they’re expecting some new federal anti-porn legislation and are prepping for that. Porn is already basically outlawed in much of the south, (if not explicitly, then implicitly due to how many hoops porn makers need to jump through), and republicans have made it clear that they want to bring conservative policies at the federal level so liberal states can’t overrule them.

Wait until they find out that conservatives also jerk off

Just following in Tumblr's footsteps. They have to sanitize it to fully monetize it.

Remember when tumblr got rid of porn and everyone stopped using it.

Well, that's a lie, because /r/programming still has mods. Pretty sure they did nothing in the last 10 years. I guess it's because the sub wasn't NSFW, I guess.

Yeah this worked out great for OnlyFans, Tumblr, and Flickr. At least OnlyFans was smart enough to remember which side their bread was buttered on.

What would be left if onlyfans got rid of porn? Wtf. I'm not paying to watch someone fix rust on their car.

the tumblr one is so funny because yahoo promised not to screw it up and then they did

And now there's still tons of NSFW content, they just started labeling it as NSFT (not safe for Tumblr) to get around the auto censors

Right, but they purged all the old stuff :'(

Uhm... interesting hyperbole during a time where America is literally facing down a fascist dictator.
