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.

Many technologies lived and died based on what the gooners chose, e.g. VHS vs betamax. I welcome them

As a horny pedant I need to tell you that's not why Betamax failed.

Betamax was used by climbers^1 , clearly everyone went with vhs to avoid them.
