This includes some porn subreddits as well as subreddits like /r/Drugs. Apparently due to being “unmoderated”, but some were not. What are your thoughts?
Edit: apparently also subreddits like /r/transgender_surgeries is banned too. Definitely feels politically motivated.

Yeah a lot of banned nsfw subs today at /r/BannedSubs. People are saying it’s because next week Reddit is gonna announce their Q4 earnings and want to attract more investors and advertisers to their “cleaner” site. Lame-ass puritans, I’d say.
edit: Looks like the bans have been reversed. A reddit admin claimed it was “a bug”. Bruh, what kind of bug would only affect veeeery specific nsfw and political subreddits lmao.
How’d that work out for tumblr?
Testing a new AI moderator in production, I’d wager.
They get all the nsfw traffic for the full quarter, and use that for their earnings report. Pretty damn dishonest.
The kind where they were getting ready to do it, and then pulled the trigger early
They clearly have a list.
“I’m Steve Huffman, Chief Executive Ball Gargler of reddit. Elon loves me, no really!”
Anyone who didn’t see this coming a mile away hasn’t been paying attention.
yea so i finally left reddit today and joined lemmy. the internet was better when it wasn’t controlled by billionaires.
Kinky people are still going to be kinky even if they can’t post about it on Reddit. Here’s to hoping lemmyNSFW gets some of those “niche subs”. ;-)
I hope they are paying the hosting bill for all that media.
Does that mean we’re going to get an influx of people from those communities on lemmy? They’re welcome. Especially if they post in both…
But in all seriousness, yes it’s politically motivated.
Reddit, Meta, Twitter, the list goes on… if you’re still using the services provided by the nazis in any capacity, you are perpetuating the continued relevance and power of a nazi machine. The end.
You need it to stay in touch with friends and family? Bullshit. These apps have been around for 10-20 years, friends and families have been around for hundreds of thousands of years. You just like the convenience.
You need it to stay informed? Bullshit. The info is out there and easy to find, don’t be so lazy that you need to be spoonfed information by the same 3 bookmarks in your browser. They’re deciding for you what you can and can’t read about, and spoon feeding you propaganda as well.
If you are a truly principled person that sees all this for what it is, you will disconnect yourself from these things and encourage everyone you care about to do the same any time it comes up.
Otherwise you’re just making excuses and assisting our decline.
Reddit just has more hobbyist shit than anywhere else rnow, hoping ppl realize the sites garbage and provides nothing that lemmy cant without ads and garbage mods
they’re also targeting those with anti Fascist opinions and eliminating them from the site. by reporting them for hate speech and anti anything they can come up with. both the Mods and admins seem more than willing to help.
My previous 15yo account was banned with no warning for saying Palestinians have a right to defend themselves at any cost. I never had so much as a post removed or warning from admins. And it left my largest subs unmoderated and now they returned to shit
People were predicting this a while back as a way that reddit would make themselves more “advertiser-friendly”.
I also wonder if there were some legal concerns in those states that now require porn sites to check IDs.
This is the opportunity the Fediverse was waiting for.
It looks like a lot of the subs mentioned in that post are back already, including the ones mentioned in the post tile. While i completely agree that reddit is a shitstain, this may have been a bug?
More like cover for banning certain subs.
Wow… is everything aligned… are there USA laws pushing this or something? Despicable pieces of shit
They’ll reverse the X ban any second now.
I feel like this is the perfect time for the return of a certain Fawkcian group.
Just checked and all these supposedly “banned” subs are up and running.
