Reddit is purging NSFW subs as well as trans-related subreddits
And a screenshot of the post on Reddit, from which the meme is quoting:
Brace for Rexxit 2.0. This is not drill! Granted, most of the Redfugees will be going to Lemmynsfw (I helped by dropping a link in, we'll see if that lasts) but as long as we get them out... I suppose you could call it missionary position work.
Suddenly banning porn is the most effective way to commit platform suicide. Tried and true.
Ask Tumblr.
Ask Betamax
Ask HD dvd
HDDVD never had a porn ban. It died because Sony was selling PS3s at a loss.
Ugh they could have named it MASTER-Betas!
Tumblr is still populated and widely used
Just like your mom
They also let porn back on Tumblr
Still kicking and full of porn
That's kinda my point, they did some token banning, people got grumpy for a bit then carried right on.
Hopefully LemmyNSFW and Blahaj can handle the additional traffic. Reddit's loss, our gain.
I hope users know that Lemmy exists. Reddit suppresses discussion of alternatives and usually bans links. Word-of-mouth is slower but it will get there eventually.

It can vary. lemmy.world and join-lemmy links are often removed, to the point I think some subs flag them automatically. Links to other instances see solid. I just checked and I have made a dozen posts on Reddit with links to Lemmy in the last day and they are all still up. I will push my luck too far soon though, I'm sure.
Actually, reddit is not coming. That's kinda the whole problem outlined above.
Hi-ooooooo!
Brilliant! Deserves its own thread here.
It feels like the porn bans may be misdirection - it's the quiet shanking during the prison riot you have to keep an eye out for:
First they came for r/Discuit...
Wait a sec, I thought Discuit had been banned for a while now? I remember discussing it with a Discuit member on /r/RedditAlternatives
Wow this recent news just keeps on giving.
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing ~~the world~~ online platforms ~~he didn't exist~~ they didn't need nsfw content
That pussy is out of the sack and can't be stuffed back in.
No booba 
what's a reddit? is this like myspace?
It's like a digg.
I wondered where some of my favourite Reddits had gone. Luckily they returned, now I can get back to discussing and sharing serious topics with other people online in a civilised manner.
Looks around cautiously
unzips 🤣
Im probably going to regret this but what is r/rule34?
If it exists, there is porn of it. If there isn't, there will be.
I accidentally created a subgenre of porn in a similar way, although drink and drugs may have also been involved.

Or you can Google Image search it.

Not today Satan.
Was a glitch according to an admin. They are restoring the subs.
Yeah.... "A glitch".
Most likely a test run to see how significant the response would be, and an indicator of where things are going.
Olympus Hasn't Fallen! This was indeed a drill. However, we learn with every drill.
Looks like as of a few minutes ago the bans are being undone?
Rule34 is back.
Does anyone wank to threats to US president? or is that too pervy for interwebs?
Olympus? Babylon, at best.
