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.

Certainly expected. It was my last social media (apart from Bluesky). I can't endorse this as a trans man. Time to be more active on Lemmy and purge my Reddit account.

Hu? you are here? Aren’t you?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Idk if this distinction works for anyone else, but in my mind places like Reddit or Lemmy aren’t the same thing as “social media” because they maintained the anonymous forum structure. The activity on the site isn’t centered around people and personalities, it’s the content being discussed.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I agree, but with “last social media” he was referring to Reddit…

[–] [email protected] 4 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Oh. Yeah. Maybe he just meant “last” as in the one prior and not last as in final? Idk.

I wasn’t super active (I created my account when they banned third party apps but the content wasn’t there yet).

last corporate own social media where a single entiry can remove anything for everybody*

Ah the tumblr guide for how to kill your community.

Jokes aside that's very sad and very worrying.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 14 hours ago

People were predicting this a while back as a way that reddit would make themselves more "advertiser-friendly".

I also wonder if there were some legal concerns in those states that now require porn sites to check IDs.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 hours ago

Good. Let's have people come here.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Every reddit user should consider r/redditseppuku

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

reddit suicide?

It looks like a lot of the subs mentioned in that post are back already, including the ones mentioned in the post tile. While i completely agree that reddit is a shitstain, this may have been a bug?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 14 hours ago

It's a very strange coincidence that these are the subreddits that are suddenly experiencing a "bug".

[–] [email protected] 13 points 14 hours ago

More like cover for banning certain subs.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 14 hours ago

Strange, same bug as in meta, hmmm! Are they preparing something and went live too early??

Big firewall of US incoming??

[–] [email protected] -4 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

/r/rule34 is banned, meanwhile /r/guro is still up. Wtf is wrong with reddit? That's the one sub I actually think should be banned, why ban the rule34?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Just checked that subreddit out. Seems like the perfect place for necrophiles. That is just disgusting to look at. Though I don't think it is something that should be removed.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

How about neither of them should be banned. Fuck this puritan BS

[–] [email protected] 0 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

Do you know what /r/guro is? It's sexualized gore.

It's art. It's not real, and it's not hurting anybody in real life. We shouldn't ban things because they make you uncomfortable, we ban them when they harm actual people.

Edit: this is in no way an endorsement of that particular fetish. I personally think it's sick and disgusting. But it's not my place to tell someone else not to enjoy it if nobody was harmed in its production.
