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.

Suddenly banning porn is the most effective way to commit platform suicide. Tried and true.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 53 points 3 weeks ago

Ask Tumblr.

Hopefully LemmyNSFW and Blahaj can handle the additional traffic. Reddit's loss, our gain.

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 27 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

Reddit suppresses discussion of alternatives and usually bans links.

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

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Interesting. feddit.uk isn't causing issues, yet.

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Maybe because it is more of a drop in replacement for American users.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 3 weeks ago

Oh indeed. We aren't exactly a threat.

Actually, reddit is not coming. That's kinda the whole problem outlined above.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 7 points 3 weeks ago

Brilliant! Deserves its own thread here.

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...

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Wait a sec, I thought Discuit had been banned for a while now? I remember discussing it with a Discuit member on /r/RedditAlternatives

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 3 weeks ago

I don't know, never visited.

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 weeks ago

Wow this recent news just keeps on giving.

[–] witty_username@feddit.nl 20 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing ~~the world~~ online platforms ~~he didn't exist~~ they didn't need nsfw content

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 12 points 3 weeks ago

That pussy is out of the sack and can't be stuffed back in.

[–] UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk 8 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

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 🤣

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee 5 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Im probably going to regret this but what is r/rule34?

[–] squirrel@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

If it exists, there is porn of it. If there isn't, there will be.

[–] Maestro@fedia.io 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That second half is rule 35 actually

[–] squirrel@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 weeks ago

Good to know. Thanks

Does anyone wank to threats to US president? or is that too pervy for interwebs?

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 3 weeks ago

Rule 34 suggests there is someone out there wanking to everything you can think of.

[–] IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Can we just have Morgan Freeman as president?

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 3 weeks ago

I've been wondering this for a while.

[–] frank@frank.casa 1 points 2 weeks ago

Please! He's probably the only person fit for the job.

[–] argh_another_username@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago

Speaking of porn, what happened to r/celebnsfw? Only one mod posts, can’t scroll far, but if you search, old posts are there.
