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 @lefty7283@lemmy.world):

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.

    r/transgender_surgeries wasn’t porn. It was a community outlet for results so people could understand what to expect. Queer folk always get swept up with porn, cishet only see us as a “kink” and assume our existence is entirely sexual.

    It’s fucking infuriating.

      This is the whole point of these porn bans is to remove queer people from the internet. The porn cover just allows it to happen. So whenever you see anything about porn bans think queer ban first and then some porn removal that comes right back

        it’s telling that they target trans content; but leave gay content alone.

          They knew that their attacks on gay people weren’t as popular as they once were so they are taking the exact same tactics and language and moving it towards Trans people. It both predictable and sad at the same time

          They lost the chance to scapegoat the gays after they failed to in the 80s during the AIDS epidemic

          Now there’s too many gay people in the population to keep them down.

          Once we get over this hurdle the same will be true for Trans people.

      I mean, ffs. #notallcishet? I don’t get how people who are being oppressed and all lumped together under one description (which you all definitely are) can be so nonchalant throwing around broad strokes like that.

        You got a problem with trans people? No? Then it wasn’t talking about you. Christ, is that hard to understand?

        When a group of people makes an “us vs them” against a minority, it forces the minority to use that language back. As a cishet person, your identity is being used as a weapon to harm trans people regardless if you’re doing anything. Ignorance of the minorities plight can be weaponized to do more harm and that ignorance can be shielded through appeals to normalcy and tradition.

        When you respond to that language with “not all cishet people” you signal that your support is contingent on you not losing anything (your ignorance is one of the things you can lose). Which can and will be used to weaponize more harm against the minority group.

      Well it is genitals but the purpose is entirely different. I don’t agree with it but I can at least see the logic.

    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.

      As a quick reminder: don’t expect them to handle your load (lol) for free. If you are a gooner/goonette with some income, leave a tip for the server costs and consider volunteering for mod duties if you have time and some internet social skills. If you value your nsfw communities, they don’t exist without work, like any other community.

        Hosting NSFW content is an absolute ball-ache, so a lot of instances that are not NSFW focussed do not host it.
        In the early days of feddit.uk, we decided to go the path of SFW, to simplify things.
        I absolutely salute the lemmy-nsfw admins in taking that load on.
        And it makes a lot of sense: If you’re going to deal with the headaches, you might as well focus entirely on them!

    Reddit is run by big business and greedy corporate America. When it went public for the stock price to make even more money then it did before, I left that place.
