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.

You mean all my reddit porn is now gone?
Fuck it. They all should migrate to Lemmy. There was some hard to find porn that I haven’t saved yet…
I see they’re following the Tumblr model:
- Get bought at overinflated values.
- Ban all NSFW content.
- Users leave and seek NSFW content elsewhere.
- Valuation plummets.
- “Actually, moderating NSFW is really hard you guys. We’re just going to try best efforts moderation only.”
- Sell at near total loss.
- There is still NSFW content on the platform, and the policy is used as a cudgel against LGBTQ accounts.
<tinfoil hat> Other corporate social media has also had “bugs” that delete or hide advertiser unfriendly content, with staff scrambling to go “oopsie!”. That ain’t a bug, they’re testing something. </tinfoil hat>
I don’t think this is really tinfoil hat. I’d like to see they explain how it just happened to remove that subset and not other things.
Did they? I just looked and my porn multi is still full of everything I expect it to be.
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.
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)
Let’s goon
Good news to me. I can watch reddit and twitter self destruct from the comfort of the Fediverse. Welcome home, fellow refugees.
They would rather hop into another corpo boat instead of choosing an instance.
Some would, some would rather go to Lemmy.
I welcome all the porn y’all want to post …
Typo
Or is it just the typ?
I don’t care about NSFW subs per se, but they’re useful canaries in the coal mine. If they’re gone gone, it’s a fine indicator of what’s about to come next.
First they came for the NSFW, and I did not speak out—because I was not NSFW.
this was literally why i still kinda used reddit. welp hello lemmynsfw!
Remember when tumblr got rid of porn and everyone stopped using it.
Reminds me of an old favorite CollegeHumor video comedy skit series - “A Message From Your Favorite CEO” featuring the Tumblr CEO…
Miss that series so much
Shockingly it’s still alive, and even moreso there’s still porn, albeit softcore and/or censored with links pointing to Bluesky and/or patreon. There are also pornbots that pop up and follow me every now and again.
Lol they still didn’t ban r/piracy?
That’s so surprising, I thought it would be one of the first ones to go…
🤔
Since when is drinking rum, singing sea shanties, and downloading content hidden behind a monthly subscription in 4k illegal?

in other news, lemmy’s NSFW instances see an influx of users
I wonder if we’ll see enough users for interactive communities to take off. I’m into literate erotic roleplay (basically cowriting smut), but there’s never been enough folks on the fediverse for me to try to get into it.
Can it be Linux themed?
Hi folks!
hello and welcome!
this cesspit is less bad!
Remember “Digg” ?
hopefully the fact lemmy is more decentralized should avoid another digg or reddit situation
I really hope so!
With Mark Blue flowers and Steven Davis? Wait! Its coming back to me!
Kevin Rose and the other guy who was chunky!
Alex Albrecht?
Ah yeah! The chunky guy!
Howdy!
Dont they have to wait like 2 weeks tho to post images or is that just some instances
i think thats per instance, didnt have this problem on mine. theres a lot of things that are decided per instance and you can see wildly different cultures starting to thrive between instances.
its looking up, i hope lemmy keeps going well.
