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.

Kinky people are still going to be kinky even if they can’t post about it on Reddit. Here’s to hoping lemmyNSFW gets some of those “niche subs”. ;-)
I hope they are paying the hosting bill for all that media.
Wow… is everything aligned… are there USA laws pushing this or something? Despicable pieces of shit
Reddit, Meta, Twitter, the list goes on… if you’re still using the services provided by the nazis in any capacity, you are perpetuating the continued relevance and power of a nazi machine. The end.
You need it to stay in touch with friends and family? Bullshit. These apps have been around for 10-20 years, friends and families have been around for hundreds of thousands of years. You just like the convenience.
You need it to stay informed? Bullshit. The info is out there and easy to find, don’t be so lazy that you need to be spoonfed information by the same 3 bookmarks in your browser. They’re deciding for you what you can and can’t read about, and spoon feeding you propaganda as well.
If you are a truly principled person that sees all this for what it is, you will disconnect yourself from these things and encourage everyone you care about to do the same any time it comes up.
Otherwise you’re just making excuses and assisting our decline.
Reddit just has more hobbyist shit than anywhere else rnow, hoping ppl realize the sites garbage and provides nothing that lemmy cant without ads and garbage mods
I’d be a little nicer: there’s at least one if not two generations now who have never communicated outside of these walled gardens.
Like, I’m entirely certain some of my niblings have no fucking clue what a text message is, since they grew up on snapchat and whatsapp and facebook messenger.
Perhaps a reasonable outreach that’s not just ‘u suck for using nazi shit!’ (which uh, I do agree with) might be a little more useful in capturing anyone under the age of like, 30.
Fair enough. That doesn’t excuse the hundreds of millions old enough to know better.
Good. Let’s have people come here.
They’ll reverse the X ban any second now.
Let’s go recommend Lemmy to them!!!
I saw one thread where lemmy was being recommended and some people were on board with moving over, so that was nice to see.
I do it by posting r/lemmy. I figured mods are less likely to delete the comment if it’s a subreddit.
Remember during next pride month, when they change their X picture on western accounts, that at the end of the day most companies will kill without discrimination for a fiver.
What do you bet they don’t even do that anymore?
$5 says almost no company does even the most perfunctory rainbow capitalism avatar changes this year, because, well, that’d be DEI or woke or someshit.
The telltale will be what they do in other markets, like Europe.
Are they going to be so spineless as to change for Belgium but not for the US? Will the 51th state have a rainbow?
I’m wagering they don’t do anything at all anywhere. The absolute most might be a ‘happy pride!’ page buried somewhere.
But, honestly, as a gay dude, I don’t care. This was all performative nonsense anyways. It was, at the very best, just some virtue signalling bullshit marketing thought might sell another car or book or potato or whatever the fuck, and never ever actually meant support or willingness to stand on principles or even get fucking involved in anything - though, I’ll admit, there were a very few exceptions to that.
There’s lots of shit needed, but an avatar picture that’s just fucking marketing from trillion dollar companies ain’t it, boss.
Anyone who didn’t see this coming a mile away hasn’t been paying attention.
Certainly expected. It was my last social media (apart from Bluesky). I can’t endorse this as a trans man. Time to be more active on Lemmy and purge my Reddit account.
Hu? you are here? Aren’t you?
last corporate own social media where a single entiry can remove anything for everybody*
❤️
Idk if this distinction works for anyone else, but in my mind places like Reddit or Lemmy aren’t the same thing as “social media” because they maintained the anonymous forum structure. The activity on the site isn’t centered around people and personalities, it’s the content being discussed.
I agree, but with “last social media” he was referring to Reddit…
Oh. Yeah. Maybe he just meant “last” as in the one prior and not last as in final? Idk.
The last big tech Social Network 😇
I wasn’t super active (I created my account when they banned third party apps but the content wasn’t there yet).
This is the opportunity the Fediverse was waiting for.
Where would one go if this place turns int reddit 2?
Lenny, then leooy, then leppy etc
This place is setup kind of different.
If an instance starts becoming fascist the other instances can block it for all the users in their instance
I have to ask but uh, does he REALLY look like that, or has someone photoshopped him. Because if you look up ‘weird nerd nobody liked in highschool on a power trip because he runs a webstie now’ on wikipedia, that’s the image you’d get.
(And before I get lambasted about how I’m judging someone from their appearance: just no. I just find it hilarious the guy who acts like that also happens to look exactly like you’d expect. Some sort of uh, appearance determination thing, or whatever.)
This is the original. It looks like they might have made his eyes a little bigger but it’s pretty close
Thank you. His face still looks very punchable.
I don’t know is “webstie” is a typo or not, but it fits with the pig boy theme
“I’m Steve Huffman, Chief Executive Ball Gargler of reddit. Elon loves me, no really!”
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.
Does that mean we’re going to get an influx of people from those communities on lemmy? They’re welcome. Especially if they post in both…
But in all seriousness, yes it’s politically motivated.
yea so i finally left reddit today and joined lemmy. the internet was better when it wasn’t controlled by billionaires.
RIP Aaron
💐🪦 Rip Aaron
I feel like this is the perfect time for the return of a certain Fawkcian group.
