Reddit purges all NSFW subreddits (pawb.social)

Something big is happening, as Reddit seems to have purged literally every NSFW sub they know. Reason is always "unmoderated" despite some of the banned subreddits being fully moderated.

Edit: seems to have been a bug in automation (thanks @lefty7283@lemmy.world):

It's still a good reminder on how quickly a community (or communities) thousands of people enjoy and in some cases rely upon can disappear.

Did they? I just looked and my porn multi is still full of everything I expect it to be.

I always had a feeling this was gonna happen. I don’t think they can put ads on nsfw subreddits so they are effectively a leech on resources. Gotta get those profits.

Hmm, maybe they reverted? Everything still seems accessible right now

Edit: the ones on the screen seem down but there are definitely still some nsfw subreddits still open. Either the purgening has just begun or those fit some kind of criteria for a ban.

It doesn't look like all the NSFW subs are banned yet, but it wouldn't surprise me if that happens soon.

According to a post from our Admin, in the small instance I'm in there has been a sudden influx of new users (about 200) in the last day or so (as new users have to be approved, somebody is getting cramps on their approve finger).

(Guess Anarchism and Piracy could technically count as NSFW in most workplaces, especially the latter)

I know people here probably don't want to jump back across, but people are actually wondering if this isn't just NSFW and if it's political..
