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.

It looks like a lot of the subs mentioned in that post are back already, including the ones mentioned in the post tile. While i completely agree that reddit is a shitstain, this may have been a bug?

It's a very strange coincidence that these are the subreddits that are suddenly experiencing a "bug".

More like cover for banning certain subs.
