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.

EO on federal porn ID requirement incoming?

Imagine all these OF models with their bots posting all over NSFW communities, it will be dead! How they will promote? Lol

If all this people go over Lemmynsfw, it won't handle all of this, that's why more NSFW instances should be maid IMO.

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.

Did they? I just looked and my porn multi is still full of everything I expect it to be.

It doesn't look like all the NSFW subs are banned yet, but it wouldn't surprise me if that happens soon.

r/nsfw is still around https://www.reddit.com/r/nsfw/

as well as a subreddit I created:

I always had a feeling this was gonna happen. I don’t think they can put ads on nsfw subreddits so they are effectively a leech on resources. Gotta get those profits.

I am glad that I left this piece of shit place 2 years ago.

According to a post from our Admin, in the small instance I'm in there has been a sudden influx of new users (about 200) in the last day or so (as new users have to be approved, somebody is getting cramps on their approve finger).

(Guess Anarchism and Piracy could technically count as NSFW in most workplaces, especially the latter)

They have been coming back. /drugs being one that is back. Don't know wtf happened, but glad I'm here.
