Reddit just banned a ton of LGBTQ+ and NSFW subs, I imagine a bunch of people will be heading this way!

    They claim it’s an “accident” and unbanned a lot of them. Sure 🙄 They’re just testing how submissive their userbase are, lol

      if it was an accident, that’s almost as bad: either way they’re testing or developed some tool that has grouped lgbt and adult content together

        Probably some algorithm that they told "delete anything related to the topic ‘transgender’, and that algorithm took everything down that it remotely got a hold of, I would suspect

      Yeah this, “bug” seems like insurance for when Musk starts attacking Xitter competitors. Now investors can be assured Reddit can ban every controversial subreddit in one sweep.

      They’re making sure the system works for when they need to hit it for real. Just like all the other social media platforms that “accidentally” censored anything that wasn’t pro Trump.

    Can we not advertise lemmy.world this time? The entire point is to decentralize so ban waves like this don’t affect too many people.

    Hello! I’m new to Lemmy, originally during the Reddit exodus when 3rd party apps got shafted (RIP Apollo) I joined kbin but the dev has since gone dark and I unfortunately found myself back on reddit.

    Im trans and with this whole NSFW ban and trans subreddits getting banned I’m back.

    Does anyone know any good trans specific communities (what are these called here? Sublemmies?) on Lemmy? They don’t have to be specific to the lemm.ee instance!

    TIA

    if they even are aware of Lemmy. from what I’ve read, Reddit is quick to delete any mentions of it

    Other than just knowing that things continue to decline (everywhere), who cares? I guess I do, cause I’m taking the time to comment. But it’s all downhill, everywhere, from here.
