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.

      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!

    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 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.
