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 are banned too. Definitely feels politically motivated. Edit 2: seems like at least some (?) bans are being undone, like the above mentioned ones.

Given that they started unbanning some of these, $20 says these dumbasses plugged in a new “AI mod” without testing it first.
I think it’s time for me to block posts from this community. Most of us came here as reddit refugees. No one on Lemmy should be suprised about the rapid enshitification of that platform. The best thing anyone can do is walk away completely and don’t look back.
People are forgetting this all springs from the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025.
THEY are the ones pulling the strings behind Trump. The corporations and billionaires funding that (not Musk) that are shelling out the cash and have been since the Reagan era.
Folks who think that the Pornhub ban in a few states and the ID request in others is the new norm are going to be in for a surprise when a nationwide ban gets passed shortly. That has always been on the agenda for them.
It’s a Christian Extremist agenda (think Handmaids Tale) and all you fuckers who voted for him or didn’t vote in retaliation allowed this shit to happen.
I cannot believe the amount shocked people I’ve ran across at work recently, who are Republicans who are still in denial and still think things are going to get better - or have some sort of bizarre belief that Trump is going to start suddenly making everything cheaper for everyone. Idiots!
When Trump won they realized they could use him. They spent the last 4 years pecking at his brain and writing up their dream bills for him to sign. There’s no way Trump is the instigator of the vast majority of what he’s signing.
Trump doesn’t even believe in 99% of the bullshit they’re having him sign. He just gets off on revenge and having a base of fucking morons that adore him as some kind of prophet.
He didn’t even put his hand on the bible to swear in. I didn’t even check on the cult logic for him not doing so.
Step 1: Ban porn.
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit
I think banning porn is in part about getting birthrates back up. They’re scared of replacement. There’s the morality crap they’re tossing but the driving force is replacement theory and lost profit. They don’t want to be like Japan.
Partially, probably.
More importantly, it’s about absolute control
I don’t see how banning porn accomplishes this. Women are the gatekeepers who get to decide whether or not a baby gets born and as a population grows wealthier and more educated the women tend to have less kids. Has very little to do with porn which is mostly watched by men.
The solution to not being like Japan is immigration. That’s why our population isn’t declining every year like Japan. Without current level of immigration, our population would be decreasing every year and we would be like Japan.
Women are the gatekeepers who get to decide whether or not a baby gets born
Not under Republican rule they don’t!
I mean unless they start enforcing state sanctioned rape women have a choice of whether or not to have sex. I get your point though.
Iirc department of education said something like “young women are supposed to start families not go to college”
Maybe it was someone else but it goes to show how insane the federal government has become
They will have removed no fault divorce across a number of Republican states within the next four years, and none of those states will be investigating rape allegations inside a legal marriage.
I agree with you. This administration does not. I mentioned replacement theory in my comment. Thats why imigration wouldn’t work. They dont see it as an option. They also are working on a national ban on abortion. Ultimately they see us all as cattle, but to get the population up? Women would be more so. Think legislation that makes divorce almost impossible. Tax breaks for ‘traditional’ families. (especially those that have multiple kids). MAJOR propaganda to push people to have children. Imagine that upcoming Facebook AI army all telling you how great being a parent is. Deeper discrimination in the workforce.
As for banning porn, it makes people more horny. More than that banning, porn also could ban many sexual education resources available online. Maybe the regulate birth control OR make it only accessible through insurance. Nasty work. Hundreds of dollars for your birth control that you need to regulate your periods because you don’t have insurance.
Rather than finding porn horny people go out and try to have sex. More sex means more kids. Add to that the removal of those educational resources I mentioned and now you have teens who don’t know any better having sex and getting pregnant. Funny how Trump is about to attack the department of education. What kids would have learned in school is lost to budget cuts and just over welmed and new biased teachers. Oh and rest assured their will be new teachers. Passionate volunteers I’m sure, to help teach your kids to be little monsters for God.
All this starts with heavier regulation on porn. It might not be a full ban, but it could be an effective ban. You wouldn’t be able to search it, many sights wouldn’t host it, and accessing it would require ID (and probably payment ti help support the infrastructure that would require).
They killed Roe v Wade already.
Looks like reddit is using the momentum of starting sub bans as an opportunity to ban things that might land them in hot water legally or politically
- Rule34, and anime porn is banned because r34 is based on existing copyrighted material (and so are the anime subs probably)
- Drugs because of the “war of drugs”.
- transgender_surgeries because the current US administration is profoundly transphobic.
It’s almost like the free speech absolutists only really cared about allowing one specific type of speech.
its not just anime porn. Multiple body part specific subs have been banned despite being actively moderated. I think it’s a poem ban plus any thing that might be a bad look to the New Admin
Yeah thousands of niche porn subs got banned gor being “unmoderated” over the past few years. I think reddit is slowly trying to reduce the amount of porn on the website to appear better as a company.
Totally worked for tumblr
They have been trying to become the new “Facebook but not for old people” for the last several years. Like they still want to be hip and appear somewhat niche, yet be mainstream enough to pull in users and advertisers and money. Spez seems to think you can still have it both ways. The extremely small (relatively speaking) amount of people who have left for Lemmy understand you can’t have it that way. (THIS SHIT AINT NO BURGER KING DAWG)
Damn removing the r34 subreddit really is the end of an era.
Reddit’s board has been fighting over whether to house porn subs for years now. Spez has been very vocal about how difficult that has been for reddit.
I cry a five gallon bucket of tears for Spez and his difficulties every night before I sleep.
I will love seeing them try to ban noncredibledefense for having LGBTQIA+ flag on it’s profile, having a lot of r34 with planes (if you don’t know the sub, just don’t try to imagine, it will hurt your brain XD), having some gory content (like the meat cube and once again don’t try to imagine XD).
And they are pro-NATO which is something the current administration is not really fond of (including Musk who has been mocked for multiple weeks after his speech about drones vs planes…).
If it really happens, all 400k NCD readers, there is a big NCD community on lemmy so Welcome!
Can you briefly summarise NCD? I’ve been living under a small rock
War shitposting.
Where does the name come from?
incredible defense → non-credible defense → ncd
I got banned for 7 days for posting a Luigi cap
no cap
on god fr fr
Such rizz
much skibidi toilet
We’re the dads that use teen lingo to make our kids roll their eyes, aren’t we?
They don’t think it be like it is, but it do.
Someone pushed the code to prod a bit early
Good, let porn migrate to https://lemmynsfw.com/ - finally more good content on Lemmy
And trans people are always welcome here! Direct them over to Lemmy as much as you can
RIP Reddit
Go ask Tumblr how removing the porn went.
Went away alongside with Tumblr users. Muppet who made this decision is probably well off though.
I tried twice to recover one of my favorite NSFW subs that was deleted due to being “unmoderated” but was denied both times. The sub was fairly active and I was on it daily and didn’t notice any real spam problems. There is a channel for it here on Lemmy NSFW but it’s not really active yet since it was a niche interest.
Clowns putting midgets with cocks bigger than their arms in bondage and tickling their feet.
Did I get it right?
Don’t kink shame
Ew, feet?
This morning I just casually checked “ask reddit after dark” sort of a fun sex community like Lemmy “ask lemmy nsfw”. Was surprised that reddit banned that community. I understand the issues they are having with free speech and even trans stuff based on the new Executive Orders of the Trump administration - but I don’t get it with porn. How is narrative, pics, or videos of porn related stuff an issue?
Removed by mod
Good point that those NOT in an affected state DON’T realize. For example if you are in Florida there is no more Pornhub, Xhamster, etc. Unless of course you are dumb enough to submit a picture ID to those sites for verification. If you add to that social media purges of porn then those affected are basically in a no porn environment. Of course some would make the argument that it’s a good thing. But these are people not hurting anyone. They want to see some porn. What’s the big deal?

Go study history. Look up something called “McCarthyism”.
Don’t like your neighbors house color? He’s a communist and should be banned!
But…red houses don’t mean he’s a…
I SAID BANNED!!! YOU’RE BANNED TOO, YOU DISAGREEING COMMUNIST!!!
And as long as the controling crowd is mindlessly agreeing with you, it doesn’t need to make sense, or be logical. That’s McCarthyism in a nutshell.
And the best part is, Americans are dumb, don’t learn from history, and don’t see the inevitable happening right now before them. So you can ban anything. Books. Tv shows. Foods. News. Clouds. Yes, clouds. As in the puffy white things in the sky. Banned. I said it doesn’t need to make sense, didn’t I?
They were just testing the waters. They’re gonna do it again, mmw.
direct link that works on firefox unlike that one https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/1iiah18/nsfw_subreddit_purge_many_subs_have_been_banned/
Kinda feels like a warning tbh. Or they’re trying to be another tumblr.
