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.
Does anyone wank to threats to US president? or is that too pervy for interwebs?
It’s officially joever
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 🤣
what’s a reddit? is this like myspace?
It’s like a digg.
Suddenly banning porn is the most effective way to commit platform suicide. Tried and true.
Ask Tumblr.
Ask Betamax
Ask HD dvd
HDDVD never had a porn ban. It died because Sony was selling PS3s at a loss.
It didn’t ban porn, but porn chose bluray - probably because of the ps3 price though.
My bad, I thought I remembered porn chose Blu ray.
Ugh they could have named it MASTER-Betas!
Still kicking and full of porn
That’s kinda my point, they did some token banning, people got grumpy for a bit then carried right on.
Tumblr is still populated and widely used
Just like your mom
They also let porn back on Tumblr
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…
Wait a sec, I thought Discuit had been banned for a while now? I remember discussing it with a Discuit member on /r/RedditAlternatives
I don’t know, never visited.
Wow this recent news just keeps on giving.
What was that sub for?
Talking about Discuit. A Reddit alternative.
Is there a way to make it look like old.reddit view.
Hopefully LemmyNSFW and Blahaj can handle the additional traffic. Reddit’s loss, our gain.
I hope users know that Lemmy exists. Reddit suppresses discussion of alternatives and usually bans links. Word-of-mouth is slower but it will get there eventually.

It can vary. lemmy.world and join-lemmy links are often removed, to the point I think some subs flag them automatically. Links to other instances see solid. I just checked and I have made a dozen posts on Reddit with links to Lemmy in the last day and they are all still up. I will push my luck too far soon though, I’m sure.
Discuss.online isn’t safe anymore
Interesting. feddit.uk isn’t causing issues, yet.
Maybe because it is more of a drop in replacement for American users.
Oh indeed. We aren’t exactly a threat.
Actually, reddit is not coming. That’s kinda the whole problem outlined above.
First they will come. Then the second coming will occur.
Hi-ooooooo!
Brilliant! Deserves its own thread here.
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing
the worldonline platformshe didn’t existthey didn’t need nsfw contentThat pussy is out of the sack and can’t be stuffed back in.
“Missionary position work” is brilliant, btw.
You’re welcome.
May lead to getting doorslammed.
No booba
Was a glitch according to an admin. They are restoring the subs.
Yeah… “A glitch”.
Most likely a test run to see how significant the response would be, and an indicator of where things are going.
Olympus Hasn’t Fallen! This was indeed a drill. However, we learn with every drill.
Im probably going to regret this but what is r/rule34?
If it exists, there is porn of it. If there isn’t, there will be.
That second half is rule 35 actually
Good to know. Thanks
I accidentally created a subgenre of porn in a similar way, although drink and drugs may have also been involved.

Or you can Google Image search it.

Looks like as of a few minutes ago the bans are being undone?
Rule34 is back.
Olympus? Babylon, at best.
