edit: Reddit admin says "this is a bug and has been reversed".

r/IsElonDeadYet is still banned though and r/whitepeopletwitter is still under a 72-hour temp ban for "glorifying violence or doxing" against Elon's DOGE crew.

Chtorrr comments on R/porn & R/rule34 are banned, tissue paper sales pulmmet! However, these are not the only bans, so what's going on?

I'm surprised the comment allows replies.

You guys really do think your users are stupid, don't you? A "bug" that only affected only porn subs and those that the fascists in power deem against their puritanical views? No, you just hit the "mass ban" button before you had your excuse to justify it in place.

    I can’t be arsed to find it now, but a while back there was an effort post in the subredditdrama sub about how a bunch of porn subreddits were being taken down due to “moderation” issues and at the same time porn subreddit moderation was getting consolidated under a small handful of power mods that were gatekeeping accounts promoting newer/less established OnlyFans and other such sites. Theory was that reddit-logo was purging the amateur nature of the NSFW side of the site and making it more “professional” adult content in order to be more palatable to investors.

    Honestly all of the mods of the porn subreddits should have been cleaned out/purged years ago, have Reddit admins take over, and implement actual age verification systems for NSFW content creators. But Reddit won't do that because it will tank traffic and cost money. So we're stuck with the current situation.
