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 @[email protected]):

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.

I didn't want other NSFW stuff blocked, just porn. When I was originally signing up it seemed like NSFW was being treated as an all or nothing for most instances. Idk if it's changed or if I just needed to look harder.

The world really kind of needs more buckets besides "NSFW and SFW".

What's an example of NSFW that you want to see that is banned by instances banning porn? Which instances are you referring to?

Idk it was like 2 years ago. I just remember looking through fediverse guides and instances were labeled as either allowing NSFW content or not, no nuance. I didn't dig into whether the specific instances were defederated from lemmynsfw nor did I even know to look for that at the time.

There's not that much NSFW stuff that isn't porn but I come across it occasionally. Usually jokes, sometimes people will also be very cautious and mark shit that isn't really. I prefer to be largely unconstrained with what comes across my feed, just don't care for the random puss intermingled.
