MODERATORS
Considering Reddit's desire to IPO and some of the comments on the spez AMA, I wonder how long reddit would really have an edge on NSFW content. It wouldn't surprise me if they consider slashing that content similar to Imgur in trying to appease advertisers.
I'd be interested in hearing someone's experience in moderating NSFW subreddits, since to my untrained eye that seems like it could be a grueling job. Not to mention mitigating legal risks associated with users uploading illegal content to a self-hosted instance.
Point on reddit being likely to shy away from NSFW stuff as much as it can. One day, there will be a mainstream advertiser that goes for an "edgy" brand image and allow for their ads on to appear on porn, and then all hell is going to break loose. I look forward to that day.
I'd also be interested in hearing from anyone who has dealt with moderating NSFW subs. Also the more sfw ones, like r/sex or r/bdsmcommunity, where they raise the hackles of conservatives in the US, but don't constitute as porn.
