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.

r/drugs has been banned?? That was one of my favorite place on Reddit back in the days :(I haven't found a community for that here :(

(Edit: Drug Reddit was amaziiing, especially r/shrooms r/trees r/dxm | can't really start a community because I'm not regular enough in this area, I guess that's a good thing)

Same, when I was a teenager it was Erowid for all my questions, then r/drugs in college. I also loved r/tooktoomuch, which had the best life lessons to offer.

I learned so much off ppl tweaking off taking too much, life saver for sure.

I learned all the thing that kept me safe on there too; and the life story were interesting and also the trip reports and experiment!

This was something I couldn't get IRL until a long time, and still, is not very active today (my friends and I are all busy we can't really experiment !! Maybe next time we see each other)
