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.

Looks like it was a bug. Because they're still up.

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?

Good. Let's have people come here.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Just checked and all these supposedly "banned" subs are up and running.

I feel like this is the perfect time for the return of a certain Fawkcian group.
