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 @[email protected]):

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.
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.
