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.

    Queer folk always get swept up with porn, cishet only see us as a “kink” and assume our existence is entirely sexual.

    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.
