This includes some porn subreddits as well as subreddits like /r/Drugs. Apparently due to being “unmoderated”, but some were not. What are your thoughts?
Edit: apparently also subreddits like /r/transgender_surgeries are banned too. Definitely feels politically motivated. Edit 2: seems like at least some (?) bans are being undone, like the above mentioned ones.
For sure, I’ve always said that for the most part it doesn’t really matter. Make an account on anyone of them and if you don’t align with that instance in the long run you can just hop to a different one.
But you must understand that there are a potentially infinite number of instances and people have limited time to sign up for them.
So they pick one, or two, or three, that seem okay.
Then one turns out to be ran by a pedophile, so they stop using that one.
Then one turns out to be a front for tankies, so they stop using that one.
Then one turns out to [insert valid criticism of a popular instance], so they are back to account age 0 and searching for a new instance.
In the old Reddit days you’d never lose your account (or have reason to abandon it) unless you were a nazi or pedophile. I had a twelve year old account banned because someone mass reported all of my (porn) posts, many were auto-actioned, and my appeals were all auto-denied.
