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 is banned too. Definitely feels politically motivated.

Maybe testing the waters. Next time it will be a bug so severe that they can't bring them back, but making new ones isn't allowed either.

Knowing current Reddit, that's quite possible. Though I'd love to see a migration through LemmyNSFW if that happens again permanently.
