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.
This has been predicted for many years. Most were expecting it to happen before the IPO, since investors are afraid of porn.
They had also been gradually heading down this path for a long time, making porn harder and harder (heh) to find and view.
Hmm, maybe they reverted? Everything still seems accessible right now
Edit: the ones on the screen seem down but there are definitely still some nsfw subreddits still open. Either the purgening has just begun or those fit some kind of criteria for a ban.
Wonder how this move went for tumble
To be fair I don't think that many people go to Reddit for porn. With Tumblr it seemed almost exclusive. But it's still an odd move.
Couldn't have happened to a scummier hive of villainy. I wil unironically applaud every bad thing that happens to the site.
Nothing of value lost, there are uncountable alternatives.
Unironically devastating for Reddit financially and could see a gooner exodus to Lemmy.
Man, like I'll welcome new people, but I don't want all flooded with porn. I already had to block a bunch of communities/ profiles, and I'll have to work more to fix my feed. Having said that
Give me your tired, your goons, Your huddled masses yearning to goon free, I guess.
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.
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.
