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):

It's still a good reminder on how quickly a community (or communities) thousands of people enjoy and in some cases rely upon can disappear.
I don't care about NSFW subs per se, but they're useful canaries in the coal mine. If they're gone gone, it's a fine indicator of what's about to come next.
Lol they still didn't ban r/piracy?
That's so surprising, I thought it would be one of the first ones to go...

Since when is drinking rum, singing sea shanties, and downloading content hidden behind a monthly subscription in 4k illegal?
this was literally why i still kinda used reddit. welp hello lemmynsfw!
that's funny because I was banned for saying fireworks in Brampton Ontario
Remember when tumblr got rid of porn and everyone stopped using it.
Reminds me of an old favorite CollegeHumor video comedy skit series - "A Message From Your Favorite CEO" featuring the Tumblr CEO...
r/drugs has been banned?? That was one of my favorite place on Reddit back in the days :(I haven't found a community for that here :(
(Edit: Drug Reddit was amaziiing, especially r/shrooms r/trees r/dxm | can't really start a community because I'm not regular enough in this area, I guess that's a good thing)
Same, when I was a teenager it was Erowid for all my questions, then r/drugs in college. I also loved r/tooktoomuch, which had the best life lessons to offer.
havent heard of 'Erowid' in a minute. Great memories back then, simpler times
Is erowid still good? I have it enshrined in the back of my head as the place for plant info
Erowid is still good, though I wish there was a little more info about current operations and projects outside of maintaining the experience report database. As far as I can tell, both Erowid Monthly and Erowid Extracts are dead, Ask Erowid is dead, DrugsData is not currently receiving samples, etc.
There's reason to play some stuff close to the chest, obviously, but there used to be more activity than just the experience database, and it's sad to see the other functions languish. But as a repository of drug information it's still pretty great.
A newer good harm reduction/info site is tripsit.me, which also has a trip sit via chat service. Can't speak to the quality of the chat service, over something like the Fireside Project which has been around for a long time, but the infosheets on tripsit are pretty good.
Erowid is used by researchers still AFAIK. Notably on MDMA research (they teamed up with MAPS).

Here's one using it from last year: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39712538/
OK but how the FUCK did r/forcedcreampie survive the purge?
Porn is made by actors who sometimes roleplay scenes that aren't actually real.
Under the New Founding Fathers, forced cream pies are ok, willing abortions are not.
Oh that's the most vile and gut wrenchingly nauseating comment i read all year. Well done and well said.
New Founding Fathers sounds too distinguished. I vote for Foundling Man-babies.
in other news, lemmy's NSFW instances see an influx of users
Hi folks!
Howdy!
hello and welcome!
this cesspit is less bad!
Remember "Digg" ?
hopefully the fact lemmy is more decentralized should avoid another digg or reddit situation
And nothing of value was lost
Many of these subreddits were not straight up porn. But then again, it is Reddit, should nuke the site altogether.
Exactly
My guess is that theyβre expecting some new federal anti-porn legislation and are prepping for that. Porn is already basically outlawed in much of the south, (if not explicitly, then implicitly due to how many hoops porn makers need to jump through), and republicans have made it clear that they want to bring conservative policies at the federal level so liberal states canβt overrule them.
Itβs on the list for project 2025.
No porn. No weed.
Overwatch r34 ban
So you have chosen death by a thousand exoduses
Yeah this worked out great for OnlyFans, Tumblr, and Flickr. At least OnlyFans was smart enough to remember which side their bread was buttered on.
Just following in Tumblr's footsteps. They have to sanitize it to fully monetize it.
Hmm, delicious pasteurised reddit.
r/transgender_surgeries wasn't porn. It was a community outlet for results so people could understand what to expect. Queer folk always get swept up with porn, cishet only see us as a "kink" and assume our existence is entirely sexual.
It's fucking infuriating.
