Reddit is purging NSFW subs as well as trans-related subreddits
And a screenshot of the post on Reddit, from which the meme is quoting:
Brace for Rexxit 2.0. This is not drill! Granted, most of the Redfugees will be going to Lemmynsfw (I helped by dropping a link in, we’ll see if that lasts) but as long as we get them out… I suppose you could call it missionary position work.
Suddenly banning porn is the most effective way to commit platform suicide. Tried and true.
Ask Tumblr.
Ask Betamax
Ask HD dvd
HDDVD never had a porn ban. It died because Sony was selling PS3s at a loss.
Tumblr is still populated and widely used
Just like your mom
Actually, reddit is not coming. That’s kinda the whole problem outlined above.
First they will come. Then the second coming will occur.
Hi-ooooooo!
Hopefully LemmyNSFW and Blahaj can handle the additional traffic. Reddit’s loss, our gain.
I hope users know that Lemmy exists. Reddit suppresses discussion of alternatives and usually bans links. Word-of-mouth is slower but it will get there eventually.

It can vary. lemmy.world and join-lemmy links are often removed, to the point I think some subs flag them automatically. Links to other instances see solid. I just checked and I have made a dozen posts on Reddit with links to Lemmy in the last day and they are all still up. I will push my luck too far soon though, I’m sure.
Discuss.online isn’t safe anymore
Interesting. feddit.uk isn’t causing issues, yet.
Maybe because it is more of a drop in replacement for American users.
Oh indeed. We aren’t exactly a threat.
It feels like the porn bans may be misdirection - it’s the quiet shanking during the prison riot you have to keep an eye out for:
First they came for r/Discuit…
Wow this recent news just keeps on giving.
Wait a sec, I thought Discuit had been banned for a while now? I remember discussing it with a Discuit member on /r/RedditAlternatives
What was that sub for?
Talking about Discuit. A Reddit alternative.
Is there a way to make it look like old.reddit view.
Was a glitch according to an admin. They are restoring the subs.
Olympus Hasn’t Fallen! This was indeed a drill. However, we learn with every drill.
Yeah… “A glitch”.
Most likely a test run to see how significant the response would be, and an indicator of where things are going.
Does anyone wank to threats to US president? or is that too pervy for interwebs?
Im probably going to regret this but what is r/rule34?

Or you can Google Image search it.

Not today Satan.
If it exists, there is porn of it. If there isn’t, there will be.
That second half is rule 35 actually
Good to know. Thanks
