Man, I hope lemmynsfw is ready, lol

r/transgender_surgeries wasn't porn. It was a community outlet for results so people could understand what to expect. Queer folk always get swept up with porn, cishet only see us as a "kink" and assume our existence is entirely sexual.

It's fucking infuriating.

Unironically devastating for Reddit financially and could see a gooner exodus to Lemmy.

Remember when tumblr got rid of porn and everyone stopped using it.

in other news, lemmy's NSFW instances see an influx of users

This has been predicted for many years. Most were expecting it to happen before the IPO, since investors are afraid of porn.

They had also been gradually heading down this path for a long time, making porn harder and harder (heh) to find and view.

The subs are back up for the record. According to an admin, it was a glitch.

Reddit is preparing to surrender to somebody who does not want NSFW content on their site in an attempt to appease advertisers. Possibly Musk.

I see they're following the Tumblr model:

• Get bought at overinflated values.
• Ban all NSFW content.
• Users leave and seek NSFW content elsewhere.
• Valuation plummets.
• "Actually, moderating NSFW is really hard you guys. We're just going to try best efforts moderation only."
• Sell at near total loss.
• There is still NSFW content on the platform, and the policy is used as a cudgel against LGBTQ accounts.

I don't care about NSFW subs per se, but they're useful canaries in the coal mine. If they're gone gone, it's a fine indicator of what's about to come next.

Reddit accelerates it's own downfall

Spez: "Daddy Elon wants me to get rid of all the twitter critical and trans related subs. How can I do it without it being too obvious?"

Snoo Lackey: "Easy. What we'll do is ban a load of morally grey subs like porn and drug related ones along with the twitter critical and trans ones. Then, when the predictable uproar kicks off, we'll wait awhile then announce it was all a terrible mistake and we'll reactivate all the porn ones. We just won't reactivate the twitter critical or trans ones. Because lets be honest - no one really cares and as long as the simpletons have their wank bank back, they'll neither notice nor care either!"

Spez: "Brilliant!"

First they came for the NSFW, and I did not speak out—because I was not NSFW.

OK but how the FUCK did r/forcedcreampie survive the purge?

r/drugs has been banned?? That was one of my favorite place on Reddit back in the days :(I haven't found a community for that here :(

(Edit: Drug Reddit was amaziiing, especially r/shrooms r/trees r/dxm | can't really start a community because I'm not regular enough in this area, I guess that's a good thing)

Wonder how this move went for tumble

Yeah this worked out great for OnlyFans, Tumblr, and Flickr. At least OnlyFans was smart enough to remember which side their bread was buttered on.

I welcome all the porn y'all want to post ....

Might be some bug in automation?

this was literally why i still kinda used reddit. welp hello lemmynsfw!

Thankfully /r/cumsluts has been spared... for now!

You mean all my reddit porn is now gone?

Fuck it. They all should migrate to Lemmy. There was some hard to find porn that I haven't saved yet...

My guess is that they’re expecting some new federal anti-porn legislation and are prepping for that. Porn is already basically outlawed in much of the south, (if not explicitly, then implicitly due to how many hoops porn makers need to jump through), and republicans have made it clear that they want to bring conservative policies at the federal level so liberal states can’t overrule them.

I sure am grateful for how easy it is to avoid porn on lemmy, may that continue to be the case with the certain upcoming influx of it.
