This includes some porn subreddits as well as subreddits like /r/Drugs. Apparently due to being “unmoderated”, but some were not. What are your thoughts?

Edit: apparently also subreddits like /r/transgender_surgeries is banned too. Definitely feels politically motivated.

    Yeah a lot of banned nsfw subs today at /r/BannedSubs. People are saying it’s because next week Reddit is gonna announce their Q4 earnings and want to attract more investors and advertisers to their “cleaner” site. Lame-ass puritans, I’d say.

    edit: Looks like the bans have been reversed. A reddit admin claimed it was “a bug”. Bruh, what kind of bug would only affect veeeery specific nsfw and political subreddits lmao.

          In my experience it is better to segregate NSFW and SFW accounts. Not because it is shameful and I don’t want people seeing, but because NSFW floods feeds and I can’t get anything done when encumbered by pretty naked women. lol

              Not an issue I have to contend with personally as I don’t use anything other than my laptop at home when I want to be on the internet, but a very valid reason to separate NSFW from SFW social media nonetheless.

            Even in the Working From Home age, that content is Not Suitable For Work because the blood frequenty rushing away from one’s brain isn’t good for productivity.

            A post i saw in reddit back in the day mapped the net of linked communities in comment section. To surprise of no one, nsfw and sfw were in practice fully seggregated.

          I had it like this in Reddit and my account 90% porn only pretty fast and I missed all the non porn stuff 😅

          So starting here on lemmy I decided to go for a split right from beginning on different instances to additionally check each instance’s meta community about downtimes in case of a downtime.

      They get all the nsfw traffic for the full quarter, and use that for their earnings report. Pretty damn dishonest.
