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.

Wait until they find out that conservatives also jerk off

Well, that's a lie, because /r/programming still has mods. Pretty sure they did nothing in the last 10 years. I guess it's because the sub wasn't NSFW, I guess.

Apparently a bug that has happened before.

The only thing I use Reddit for is porn, and my feed isn't empty, so either they're doing this in stages or there's some other criteria they're using beyond just being NSFW.

Seems to have been a bug and they reverted the bans.

that is called a dictatorial show of force

Uhm... interesting hyperbole during a time where America is literally facing down a fascist dictator.

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