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 @lefty7283@lemmy.world):

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.

it's telling that they target trans content; but leave gay content alone.

They lost the chance to scapegoat the gays after they failed to in the 80s during the AIDS epidemic

Now there's too many gay people in the population to keep them down.

Once we get over this hurdle the same will be true for Trans people.

Well if we made more gay people, let's just make more trans people. Problem solved!

They knew that their attacks on gay people weren't as popular as they once were so they are taking the exact same tactics and language and moving it towards Trans people. It both predictable and sad at the same time

it's sad, but expected from conservatives; the real sadness is an "ally" like biden who didn't enact the equal rights amendment that would help protect trans people from the legal version of this shit and then very publicly pretended that he did.
