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.

    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.

        And now there’s still tons of NSFW content, they just started labeling it as NSFT (not safe for Tumblr) to get around the auto censors

          My experience is that modern NSFW on tumblr is just porn bots. You used to get really nice, high quality slutty art for whatever TV show or movie character tripped your trigger. Now they have an Ai bot that’s trained itself to flag black and white sfw sketches but not straight up literal tiddy drop videos with spam links below them.

        All thanks to Apple’s censorship of their forced App Store, which is arguably the worst thing to ever happen to computing. Zero percent joking.

    Couldn’t have happened to a scummier hive of villainy. I wil unironically applaud every bad thing that happens to the site.

    Nothing of value lost, there are uncountable alternatives.

        Hosting NSFW content is an absolute ball-ache, so a lot of instances that are not NSFW focussed do not host it.
        In the early days of feddit.uk, we decided to go the path of SFW, to simplify things.
        I absolutely salute the lemmy-nsfw admins in taking that load on.
        And it makes a lot of sense: If you’re going to deal with the headaches, you might as well focus entirely on them!

      As a quick reminder: don’t expect them to handle your load (lol) for free. If you are a gooner/goonette with some income, leave a tip for the server costs and consider volunteering for mod duties if you have time and some internet social skills. If you value your nsfw communities, they don’t exist without work, like any other community.

    According to a post from our Admin, in the small instance I’m in there has been a sudden influx of new users (about 200) in the last day or so (as new users have to be approved, somebody is getting cramps on their approve finger).

    (Guess Anarchism and Piracy could technically count as NSFW in most workplaces, especially the latter)

    <tinfoil hat> Other corporate social media has also had “bugs” that delete or hide advertiser unfriendly content, with staff scrambling to go “oopsie!”. That ain’t a bug, they’re testing something. </tinfoil hat>

      I don’t think this is really tinfoil hat. I’d like to see they explain how it just happened to remove that subset and not other things.

    I see they’re following the Tumblr model:

    • Get bought at overinflated values.
    • Ban all NSFW content.
    • Users leave and seek NSFW content elsewhere.
    • Valuation plummets.
    • “Actually, moderating NSFW is really hard you guys. We’re just going to try best efforts moderation only.”
    • Sell at near total loss.
    • There is still NSFW content on the platform, and the policy is used as a cudgel against LGBTQ accounts.
