This includes some porn subreddits as well as subreddits like /r/Drugs. Apparently due to being "unmoderated", but some were not. What are your thoughts?

Edit: apparently also subreddits like /r/transgender_surgeries is banned too. Definitely feels politically motivated.

I’d stopped using the platform a while ago and went full Lemmy, but this was the push I needed to delete that shit out of my life. Just need to figure out Google and Apple next, they’ve got me by the balls with those services!

LTT had a few videos on degoogling your life. Provides some alternatives to each service.

You can not like the guy and also admit his tips are valid.

People were predicting this a while back as a way that reddit would make themselves more "advertiser-friendly".

I also wonder if there were some legal concerns in those states that now require porn sites to check IDs.

Good, honestly. Let them scatter to other platforms. Reddit needs to shut down.

They'll reverse the X ban any second now.

Ah the tumblr guide for how to kill your community.

Jokes aside that's very sad and very worrying.

This is the opportunity the Fediverse was waiting for.

Just checked and all these supposedly "banned" subs are up and running.

I feel like this is the perfect time for the return of a certain Fawkcian group.

[–] asudox@lemmy.asudox.dev 5 points 1 day ago

Good. Let's have people come here.

It looks like a lot of the subs mentioned in that post are back already, including the ones mentioned in the post tile. While i completely agree that reddit is a shitstain, this may have been a bug?

[–] squirrel@lemmy.blahaj.zone 26 points 1 day ago

It's a very strange coincidence that these are the subreddits that are suddenly experiencing a "bug".

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

More like cover for banning certain subs.

[–] Petter1@lemm.ee 13 points 1 day ago

Strange, same bug as in meta, hmmm! Are they preparing something and went live too early??

Big firewall of US incoming??
