I mean, one has to ask why they were setting up automated banning of these subreddits in the first place.

The reason for all of them was unmoderated. So it seems to me like they have/are testing a method to auto ban unmoderated subs. Not that crazy, imho.

Then why weren't there loads more "unmoderated" subs of different categorize blocked?

If it was just a glitch, I suspect that the affected subreddits would better represent a random distribution of topics than what we witnessed.

A glitch is when something doesn't work as you expect it to. I don't know why you'd suspect any kind of behaviour from a glitch. Glitches can do all kinds of crazy shit.

To be clear, I'm speculating on what tool they may actually be working on.

I'm aware of what a glitch is. What I'm saying is that they are already targeting these specific subs regardless of their moderation status. The only 'glitch' here was that they got caught pushing an agenda.

You countered the assertion that it was a glitch with "well then why..." and presented a scenario you'd expect to see if it really were a glitch. I tried explaining why that doesn't make any sense.

Have a good day.

they are saying Reddit is lying, hard to understand?

I understand what they were saying and I tried to explain why their case for it didn't make sense to me.

If they are really testing things like that, it's quite worrying that they did it on the production server...

subs like r/boobs are unmodded?

Hence the glitch. A glitch is when doesn't perform as expected or desired.

I see, I assumed trans_surgeries wasn't a nsfw sub, so I was weary of why it would be in the list with the rest.

NSFW doesn't mean literal porn it means "what would be potentially catastrophic for the prudes at work to see on my screen out of the corner of their eye".

As it turns out, anyones' loins falls under that definition because vivimos en una sociedad.

And taking a scythe to anything with that tag is much simpler than actually being an arbiter of what is and isn't "degenerate" porn for the sake of this batshit prudish regime.

It probably just looks for subreddits with a lot of NSFW flagged posts and they got the parameters wrong for what triggers the "is this unmoderated" part. Unmoderated NSFW subreddits probably are the target of this tool. Just my guess based on the context.
