edit: Reddit admin says “this is a bug and has been reversed”.
r/IsElonDeadYet is still banned though and r/whitepeopletwitter is still under a 72-hour temp ban for “glorifying violence or doxing” against Elon’s DOGE crew.
/r/theadamfriedlandshow being in this list is hilarious
Adam was the bug that got everyone banned
“r/smalldickporn has been banned” Lmao, some people just can’t catch a brake
small dick problems
Wtf? Admin says all of the bans were a bug
I’m surprised the comment allows replies.
You guys really do think your users are stupid, don’t you? A “bug” that only affected only porn subs and those that the fascists in power deem against their puritanical views? No, you just hit the “mass ban” button before you had your excuse to justify it in place.
I can’t be arsed to find it now, but a while back there was an effort post in the subredditdrama sub about how a bunch of porn subreddits were being taken down due to “moderation” issues and at the same time porn subreddit moderation was getting consolidated under a small handful of power mods that were gatekeeping accounts promoting newer/less established OnlyFans and other such sites. Theory was that
was purging the amateur nature of the NSFW side of the site and making it more “professional” adult content in order to be more palatable to investors.Honestly all of the mods of the porn subreddits should have been cleaned out/purged years ago, have Reddit admins take over, and implement actual age verification systems for NSFW content creators. But Reddit won’t do that because it will tank traffic and cost money. So we’re stuck with the current situation.

“my account got hacked”
“The controller got unplugged”
“It was actually my little brother playing”
“I was lagging”
They always start with it as a “bug”.
Literally 4891
oops, all the subs i accidentally banned except for a handful that coincidentally all seem to be related to hating on elon musk. peculiar.
Yes hello, my account has been hacked
r/IsElonDeadYet not unbanned
Where did that bring you?
Seriously though, very funny to see goonicide, as concerning as it is that this was ordained by Elon feeling slightly threatened.
How was this connected to Elon?
He was going on and on about how one of the subs that gave names of his School Shooter 6 had committed a crime by posting their names and no other information (and people were cheering for bad things to happen to them)
Serious answer: the guy running the Reddit lies twitter account, which has been doing “exposes” on Reddit, is most definitely followed by Musk. Yesterday he made a post showing just how bad the porn situation is on Reddit. Musk definitely saw that. Reddit probably got a phone call afterwards from Elon Musk. The same thing happened with white people twitter, Reddit lies did a compilation of all the death threats and fedposting on there, Elon probably saw it and told Reddit to get rid.
Too bad the mass banning of porn subs was a mistake. All digital porn should be banned and the gooners must retvrn to magazines hidden in the woods to reconnect to nature
Going out back to make a withdrawal from the spank-bank my neighbor, Eddie, keeps in the whack-shack.
Tragic to see such goonerphonia on the left
All I have left are my Sears catalogs, the lingerie pages are a bit worn out but it still works
Day 2109
“Yeah banning porn completely annihilated Tumblr through a completely unforced error but surely that can’t happen to me!”
At the same time the current situation is also unsustainable. You cannot rely on Reddit mods to properly control these communities for obvious reasons. There’s no proper age verification, bots run rampant, that’s a recipe for disaster and criminal activity (and I mean serious crimes like CSAM, human trafficking, money laundering, etc, not piracy or giving someone 20 bucks who then used the 20 to buy drugs) on drug and porn subreddits. But I don’t think Reddit will ban it, they’ll just cover it up better.
Lmao how will Reddit ever recover from this? Hint: They won’t
it was just the faulty automation again, we were able to restore most of the subs but not all (like the trans ones) for reasons unfortunately
Yeah this smells like cover for banning trans subs
They say it’s undone but still wouldn’t be shocked if some trans ones are left banned
again
Yeah, didn’t this just happen a couple months ago?
Yuuup. Probably why so many are pissed lol
They will. This doesn’t meaningfully alter the product being offered.
The porn ban has been inevitable for years, but Reddit did nothing about it. There’s no proper age verification for posting nude content, mod abuse, spam everywhere, extreme fetish subs allowed to run rampant 4chan style with hundreds of thousands of subscribers, and Reddit has just swept it all under the rug. They definitely had this ban ready to go. I think it’ll be reversed, because without porn Reddit site traffic will crash. They’ll just try hide it better, pornographic content is already shadowbanned from all and popular and default search for years now, so more measures like that.
what extreme fetishes are you thinking of?
I’m sure this was unintentional but this comment has this energy:
someone simply had to ask!
hand-holding, headpats, overthrowing the government, walking along a beach
Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah, you can’t just say those things out loud! Next we’ll be talking about heterosexual sex in the missionary position for the purpose of procreation.
Shut it down!
It looks like r/transgender_surgeries is back up at least.
Reminder to back up tg surgery info
First they came for the Coomers
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Coomer
Then they came for the Monster Girls
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Monster Girl
Then they came for the Adam Friedland stans
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a center-left podcaster
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

you should be shot in the face
Except the bots.
Oh my god.
So many bots.
they banned r/HitlerRule34
maybe this censorship isn’t all bad
TBH some of those subs should get banned for a variety of reasons. Some are ripe for abuse and others are problematic.
A new migration to lemmy?
I am not looking forward to the gooners.
What’s wrong with Arsenal fans?
Edit: Incidentally, I was looking through old photos and found that I’d apparently made up a kanji for “gooning” a long time ago as a joke
That kanji containing 心 made me think of this image that came across my TL yesterday but I cannot find for the life of me. It was part of some sort of discourse about how Love and Deepspace is just a gooner game and I can’t remember exactly what it said, but it was something like
You goon for base, animalistic reasons
I goon for complex, intellectual reasons
We are not the same弓 & 心 together representing gooners is really funny to me for some reason
I wish I could remember my rationale for it, though.
Christ no, I don’t want the predditors, gooners, and orbiters to infest the lemmyverse.
Sadly, they already have their own instance
.world?
Nah the porn instance
… .world?
It can be a blessing yet a curse.
Not in the same way when the API wars were happening I think, but maybe.
Porn subs should have stayed banned
They were ready to censor content to enhance profits. Then, for reasons unknown the trigger was pulled prematurely.
This process failure is further evidence of the presence of a mature process. The previous statement is, by itself, circular reasoning.
