Reddit Sub Ban Wave (www.reddit.com)

Reddit just banned a ton of LGBTQ+ and NSFW subs, I imagine a bunch of people will be heading this way!

They claim it's an "accident" and unbanned a lot of them. Sure 🙄 They're just testing how submissive their userbase are, lol

They're letting the gov know, they will comply, with a quick demo.

if it was an accident, that’s almost as bad: either way they’re testing or developed some tool that has grouped lgbt and adult content together

Probably some algorithm that they told "delete anything related to the topic 'transgender', and that algorithm took everything down that it remotely got a hold of, I would suspect

Yeah this, “bug” seems like insurance for when Musk starts attacking Xitter competitors. Now investors can be assured Reddit can ban every controversial subreddit in one sweep.

They're making sure the system works for when they need to hit it for real. Just like all the other social media platforms that "accidentally" censored anything that wasn't pro Trump.
