Reddit is purging NSFW subs as well as trans-related subreddits

And a screenshot of the post on Reddit, from which the meme is quoting:

Brace for Rexxit 2.0. This is not drill! Granted, most of the Redfugees will be going to Lemmynsfw (I helped by dropping a link in, we'll see if that lasts) but as long as we get them out... I suppose you could call it missionary position work.

Suddenly banning porn is the most effective way to commit platform suicide. Tried and true.

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 98 points 4 weeks ago

Ask Tumblr.

[-] HappySkullsplitter@lemmy.world 43 points 4 weeks ago

Ask Betamax

[-] Protoknuckles@lemmy.world 19 points 4 weeks ago

Ask HD dvd

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago

HDDVD never had a porn ban. It died because Sony was selling PS3s at a loss.

[-] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 4 weeks ago

It didn't ban porn, but porn chose bluray - probably because of the ps3 price though.

[-] Protoknuckles@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

My bad, I thought I remembered porn chose Blu ray.

[-] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago

Ugh they could have named it MASTER-Betas!

[-] Gigliorananomicom@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 weeks ago

Tumblr is still populated and widely used

[-] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 weeks ago

They also let porn back on Tumblr

[-] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 82 points 4 weeks ago

Hopefully LemmyNSFW and Blahaj can handle the additional traffic. Reddit's loss, our gain.

[-] SoupBrick@pawb.social 53 points 4 weeks ago

[-] eerongal@ttrpg.network 77 points 4 weeks ago

Actually, reddit is not coming. That's kinda the whole problem outlined above.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 27 points 4 weeks ago

Hi-ooooooo!

[-] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 weeks ago

First they will come. Then the second coming will occur.

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 8 points 4 weeks ago

Brilliant! Deserves its own thread here.

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 39 points 4 weeks ago

It feels like the porn bans may be misdirection - it's the quiet shanking during the prison riot you have to keep an eye out for:

First they came for r/Discuit...

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 4 weeks ago

Wait a sec, I thought Discuit had been banned for a while now? I remember discussing it with a Discuit member on /r/RedditAlternatives

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 4 weeks ago

I don't know, never visited.

[-] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 weeks ago

Wow this recent news just keeps on giving.

[-] dance_ninja@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

What was that sub for?

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 9 points 4 weeks ago

Talking about Discuit. A Reddit alternative.

[-] cantstopthesignal@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 weeks ago

Is there a way to make it look like old.reddit view.

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 4 weeks ago

Discuit? No idea.

You can here:

[-] witty_username@feddit.nl 26 points 4 weeks ago

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing ~~the world~~ online platforms ~~he didn't exist~~ they didn't need nsfw content

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 14 points 4 weeks ago

That pussy is out of the sack and can't be stuffed back in.

[-] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 15 points 4 weeks ago

cage

“Missionary position work” is brilliant, btw.

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 5 points 4 weeks ago

You're welcome.

[-] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 weeks ago

May lead to getting doorslammed.

[-] UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk 10 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

I wondered where some of my favourite Reddits had gone. Luckily they returned, now I can get back to discussing and sharing serious topics with other people online in a civilised manner.

Looks around cautiously

unzips 🤣

[-] lurch@sh.itjust.works 10 points 4 weeks ago

what's a reddit? is this like myspace?

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 16 points 4 weeks ago

It's like a digg.

[-] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 weeks ago

Was a glitch according to an admin. They are restoring the subs.

[-] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah.... "A glitch".

Most likely a test run to see how significant the response would be, and an indicator of where things are going.

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 4 points 4 weeks ago

Olympus Hasn't Fallen! This was indeed a drill. However, we learn with every drill.

[-] zephorah@lemm.ee 7 points 4 weeks ago

Im probably going to regret this but what is r/rule34?

[-] squirrel@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 4 weeks ago

If it exists, there is porn of it. If there isn't, there will be.

[-] Maestro@fedia.io 14 points 4 weeks ago

That second half is rule 35 actually

[-] squirrel@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 4 weeks ago

Good to know. Thanks

[-] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Does anyone wank to threats to US president? or is that too pervy for interwebs?

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 3 weeks ago

Rule 34 suggests there is someone out there wanking to everything you can think of.

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

Olympus? Babylon, at best.

[-] IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago

Can we just have Morgan Freeman as president?

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 3 weeks ago

I've been wondering this for a while.

[-] frank@frank.casa 1 points 2 weeks ago

Please! He's probably the only person fit for the job.

[-] argh_another_username@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 weeks ago

Speaking of porn, what happened to r/celebnsfw? Only one mod posts, can’t scroll far, but if you search, old posts are there.
