R/porn & R/rule34 are banned, tissue paper sales pulmmet! However, these are not the only bans, so what's going on?
EDIT: 3 hours after all of that, an Admin has responded, it was all a bug after all! Just goes to show that we really don't know what's happening sometimes, no matter how much we think we do. That was honestly the last of the outcomes I expected, but now all affected subreddits are being unbanned and peace is restored. Also, my tissue paper stocks just quadrupled; thanks Reddit!
Olympus has fallen folks, r/rule34 has been banned! It seems that at midnight PST, February 5th, the largest animated/drawn adult content subreddit was banned for being unmoderated, but not everyone is accepting that explanation.
Probably for other reasons, it seems a lot of subs just got nuked for being unmoderated despite active mod teams. The sub for the podcast I listen to just got nuked for being unmoderated despite all posts needing to be approved by mods.
Other users bring up even more occurances of subreddits being banned for no moderation, and a pattern is appearing.
Yeah. Jerkofftoanime was just banned as well. Sudden mass banning of NSFW subs? Something's definitely going on.
It's soon noticed that another large casualty has been inflicted, with the banning of r/porn, but the casualty list grows higher and higher. R/drugs is soon added to the list, and the reports keep coming in.
It seems that many subreddits that had adult content, or illicit content, have been banned all for the same reason. However, another red flag appears in the banning of r/transgender_surgeries.
Some believe that Reddit is now bowing to the whims of the current American administration, following the pattern of many other companies.
So what's the truth? Are these politically motivated bannings? Is this all a big misunderstanding? What am I going to do with all this lotion? We'll see more news in the due time I imagine.
