Man, I hope lemmynsfw is ready, lol

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.

of course we're on pawb.social lmao.

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.

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

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

So you have chosen death by a thousand exoduses

that's funny because I was banned for saying fireworks in Brampton Ontario

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.

And nothing of value was lost

Just following in Tumblr's footsteps. They have to sanitize it to fully monetize it.

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!"

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

Reddit accelerates it's own downfall

Terrible choice caving into the pseudo-moralists, but they've been going down a bad path for a long time. They should've looked at the cautionary tale of Tumblr before committing this own goal. Making sweeping changes to fit in with corporate agendas may be popular among their own class, but it also has the longer-term effect of sacrificing the user base. And they've been hemorrhaging for a while anyway. Where do they think their future profits will come from?
