Reddit purges all NSFW subreddits
Reddit purges all NSFW subreddits
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):

<tinfoil hat> Other corporate social media has also had "bugs" that delete or hide advertiser unfriendly content, with staff scrambling to go "oopsie!". That ain't a bug, they're testing something. </tinfoil hat>
I don't think this is really tinfoil hat. I'd like to see they explain how it just happened to remove that subset and not other things.
