Reddit is purging NSFW subs as well as trans-related subreddits (edit: bans are being undone)
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.

Looks like reddit is using the momentum of starting sub bans as an opportunity to ban things that might land them in hot water legally or politically
- Rule34, and anime porn is banned because r34 is based on existing copyrighted material (and so are the anime subs probably)
- Drugs because of the "war of drugs".
- transgender_surgeries because the current US administration is profoundly transphobic.
Damn removing the r34 subreddit really is the end of an era.
It's almost like the free speech absolutists only really cared about allowing one specific type of speech.
Reddit's board has been fighting over whether to house porn subs for years now. Spez has been very vocal about how difficult that has been for reddit.
I cry a five gallon bucket of tears for Spez and his difficulties every night before I sleep.
I cum a five-gallon bucket of cum for r34 reddit posts every night before I sleep.
I don’t either but anyone thinking there havent been attempts to axe porn on reddit at the top levels they would be mistaken.
