Something big is happening, as Reddit seems to have purged literally every NSFW sub they know. Reason is always "unmoderated" despite some of the banned subreddits being fully moderated.

Edit: seems to have been a bug in automation (thanks @lefty7283@lemmy.world):

It's still a good reminder on how quickly a community (or communities) thousands of people enjoy and in some cases rely upon can disappear.

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.
