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 @[email protected]):

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.

Eh no need to get tin foil hat, imho.

I mean, one has to ask why they were setting up automated banning of these subreddits in the first place.

The reason for all of them was unmoderated. So it seems to me like they have/are testing a method to auto ban unmoderated subs. Not that crazy, imho.

If they are really testing things like that, it's quite worrying that they did it on the production server...

Huffman was probably in a huge hurry to gargle Elon's balls.
