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.

How’d that work out for tumblr?

Tumblr was already in a bad place and was further cannibalized by instagram (and reddit).
Reddit still has no meaningful alternatives. Yes, we like lemmy. Most people don’t and won’t. They want corporate social media. Just look at how long it took people to leave twitter. And they only did once BlueSky had open sign ups.

Just thinking the same thing. I wonder if this gets reversed or not.

How is nsfw Lemmy doing for hosting costs? Seems like it would be expensive to maintain all the images.

How this is called that when “lemmygetnaked” would’ve been infinitely better I’ll never know…

If I had to guess, they are testing the ability to switch these off in anticipation of more Trumpian laws being passed

The reaction was the bug.

Testing a new AI moderator in production, I’d wager.

The kind where they were getting ready to do it, and then pulled the trigger early
db2@lemmy.world 1 month ago
They clearly have a list.

They get all the nsfw traffic for the full quarter, and use that for their earnings report. Pretty damn dishonest.
