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
  
  Tumblr is still populated and widely used
  
  Still kicking and full of porn
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!
  
  First they will come. Then the second coming will occur.
- 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
  
  I don't know, never visited.
- Wow this recent news just keeps on giving.
- What was that sub for?
  
  Talking about Discuit. A Reddit alternative.
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
“Missionary position work” is brilliant, btw.
- You're welcome.
- May lead to getting doorslammed.
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 🤣
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.
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.
  
  That second half is rule 35 actually
- 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.
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?
- Rule 34 suggests there is someone out there wanking to everything you can think of.
Olympus? Babylon, at best.
Speaking of porn, what happened to r/celebnsfw? Only one mod posts, can’t scroll far, but if you search, old posts are there.
Can we just have Morgan Freeman as president?
- I've been wondering this for a while.
- Please! He's probably the only person fit for the job.
