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.
Kinky people are still going to be kinky even if they can’t post about it on Reddit. Here’s to hoping lemmyNSFW gets some of those “niche subs”. ;-)
they’re also targeting those with anti Fascist opinions and eliminating them from the site. by reporting them for hate speech and anti anything they can come up with. both the Mods and admins seem more than willing to help.
Remember during next pride month, when they change their X picture on western accounts, that at the end of the day most companies will kill without discrimination for a fiver.
They’ll reverse the X ban any second now.
I feel like this is the perfect time for the return of a certain Fawkcian group.
Does that mean we’re going to get an influx of people from those communities on lemmy? They’re welcome. Especially if they post in both…
But in all seriousness, yes it’s politically motivated.
Reddit, Meta, Twitter, the list goes on… if you’re still using the services provided by the nazis in any capacity, you are perpetuating the continued relevance and power of a nazi machine. The end.
You need it to stay in touch with friends and family? Bullshit. These apps have been around for 10-20 years, friends and families have been around for hundreds of thousands of years. You just like the convenience.
You need it to stay informed? Bullshit. The info is out there and easy to find, don’t be so lazy that you need to be spoonfed information by the same 3 bookmarks in your browser. They’re deciding for you what you can and can’t read about, and spoon feeding you propaganda as well.
If you are a truly principled person that sees all this for what it is, you will disconnect yourself from these things and encourage everyone you care about to do the same any time it comes up.
Otherwise you’re just making excuses and assisting our decline.
Good, honestly. Let them scatter to other platforms. Reddit needs to shut down.
Good. Let’s have people come here.
Now they say it was a bug? How that works?
It’s exactly what Elon did with banning people on Twitter.
Maybe testing the waters. Next time it will be a bug so severe that they can’t bring them back, but making new ones isn’t allowed either.
Knowing current Reddit, that’s quite possible. Though I’d love to see a migration through LemmyNSFW if that happens again permanently.
I’d stopped using the platform a while ago and went full Lemmy, but this was the push I needed to delete that shit out of my life. Just need to figure out Google and Apple next, they’ve got me by the balls with those services!
LTT had a few videos on degoogling your life. Provides some alternatives to each service.
You lost me at LTT
You can not like the guy and also admit his tips are valid.
The push you needed was the removal of a bunch of porn? What’s wrong with you, gooner?
I’m gonna assume you ignored the part about trans-related subreddits or you just don’t care in which case, I don’t care about your opinions.
Birds of a feather flock together
This is the opportunity the Fediverse was waiting for.
Where would one go if this place turns int reddit 2?
This place is setup kind of different.
If an instance starts becoming fascist the other instances can block it for all the users in their instance
Lenny, then leooy, then leppy etc
Ah the tumblr guide for how to kill your community.
Jokes aside that’s very sad and very worrying.
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.
They get all the nsfw traffic for the full quarter, and use that for their earnings report. Pretty damn dishonest.
Testing a new AI moderator in production, I’d wager.
Like Facebook?
The reaction was the bug.
How’d that work out for tumblr?
Tumblr was already in a bad place and was further cannibalized by instagram (and reddit).
Reddit still has no meaningful alternatives. Yes, we like lemmy. Most people don’t and won’t. They want corporate social media. Just look at how long it took people to leave twitter. And they only did once BlueSky had open sign ups.
My money is on a bunch of “protest” posts and subreddits to track this and people mostly just sit around and not care. With a lot saying “I don’t need porn on reddit, I have the internet” while completely ignoring things like trans erasure.
Just thinking the same thing. I wonder if this gets reversed or not.
That is good news for my nsfwlemmy.com alt 😏😆
Don’t be a coward, jerk off on your main and your alt!
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
And it’s pretty wild when trying to scroll anything in public or with people nearby.
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.
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.
Fine, I’ll get an NSFW alt…
How is nsfw Lemmy doing for hosting costs? Seems like it would be expensive to maintain all the images.
Just like reddit it mostly doesn’t host the images itself, but simply links to them. Redgif seems to be the host of choice for most, although some also use catbox.
The kind where they were getting ready to do it, and then pulled the trigger early
They clearly have a list.
