This includes some porn subreddits as well as subreddits like /r/Drugs. Apparently due to being "unmoderated", but some were not. What are your thoughts?
Edit: apparently also subreddits like /r/transgender_surgeries are banned too. Definitely feels politically motivated.
Edit 2: seems like at least some (?) bans are being undone, like the above mentioned ones.
People are forgetting this all springs from the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025.
THEY are the ones pulling the strings behind Trump. The corporations and billionaires funding that (not Musk) that are shelling out the cash and have been since the Reagan era.
Folks who think that the Pornhub ban in a few states and the ID request in others is the new norm are going to be in for a surprise when a nationwide ban gets passed shortly. That has always been on the agenda for them.
It’s a Christian Extremist agenda (think Handmaids Tale) and all you fuckers who voted for him or didn’t vote in retaliation allowed this shit to happen.
I cannot believe the amount shocked people I’ve ran across at work recently, who are Republicans who are still in denial and still think things are going to get better - or have some sort of bizarre belief that Trump is going to start suddenly making everything cheaper for everyone. Idiots!
Reddit sadly houses a lot of information and is found anywhere else on the internet. Even here on lemmy, we have hardly added a fraction of the information still house on Reddit.
I have absolutely no idea what these companies are doing.
Are they afraid of Trump? Are they afraid of Musk? Are they afraid of the combination of both?
Idk, I thought two incompetent idiots like them would be no threat to the corpos of America, even in the oval office. But maybe I overestimated the corpos.
Or are they jumping on the band wagon voluntarily? It's so weird to me...
I will love seeing them try to ban noncredibledefense for having LGBTQIA+ flag on it's profile, having a lot of r34 with planes (if you don't know the sub, just don't try to imagine, it will hurt your brain XD), having some gory content (like the meat cube and once again don't try to imagine XD).
And they are pro-NATO which is something the current administration is not really fond of (including Musk who has been mocked for multiple weeks after his speech about drones vs planes...).
If it really happens, all 400k NCD readers, there is a big NCD community on lemmy so Welcome!
Drugs prob saved my friends and I, we never had a bad situation because of reddit I knew dosages, I knew not to do what old top posts had done, just lowered anxiety and got me not to be stupid.
If their goal was banning porn and trans sub's, they are either slow rolling it or doing a terrible job. There is plenty of porn unbanned, and r/transgonewild is still up. I guess we'll have to wait and see though.
I think it's time for me to block posts from this community. Most of us came here as reddit refugees. No one on Lemmy should be suprised about the rapid enshitification of that platform. The best thing anyone can do is walk away completely and don't look back.
I tried twice to recover one of my favorite NSFW subs that was deleted due to being "unmoderated" but was denied both times. The sub was fairly active and I was on it daily and didn't notice any real spam problems. There is a channel for it here on Lemmy NSFW but it's not really active yet since it was a niche interest.
