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 are banned too. Definitely feels politically motivated. Edit 2: seems like at least some (?) bans are being undone, like the above mentioned ones.
If their goal was banning porn and trans sub’s, they are either slow rolling it or doing a terrible job. There is plenty of porn unbanned, and r/transgonewild is still up. I guess we’ll have to wait and see though.
Trans porn is fine, it’s just trans people that they have a problem with.
r/trans is also still up, which is not porn.
I assume they will most likely not come over here because there are users like this mod:
Someone pushed the code to prod a bit early
I tried twice to recover one of my favorite NSFW subs that was deleted due to being “unmoderated” but was denied both times. The sub was fairly active and I was on it daily and didn’t notice any real spam problems. There is a channel for it here on Lemmy NSFW but it’s not really active yet since it was a niche interest.
Clowns putting midgets with cocks bigger than their arms in bondage and tickling their feet.
Did I get it right?
Don’t kink shame
Ew, feet?
Kinda feels like a warning tbh. Or they’re trying to be another tumblr.
I will love seeing them try to ban noncredibledefense for having LGBTQIA+ flag on it’s profile, having a lot of r34 with planes (if you don’t know the sub, just don’t try to imagine, it will hurt your brain XD), having some gory content (like the meat cube and once again don’t try to imagine XD).
And they are pro-NATO which is something the current administration is not really fond of (including Musk who has been mocked for multiple weeks after his speech about drones vs planes…).
If it really happens, all 400k NCD readers, there is a big NCD community on lemmy so Welcome!
Can you briefly summarise NCD? I’ve been living under a small rock
War shitposting.
Where does the name come from?
incredible defense → non-credible defense → ncd
Go ask Tumblr how removing the porn went.
Went away alongside with Tumblr users. Muppet who made this decision is probably well off though.
RIP Reddit
First they came for porn - I didn’t care, because I had a couch, then they came for trans stuff - I didn’t care, because I had a couch, then they came for drugs - I didn’t care, because I had a couch, then my couch broke from active couchfucking and there were nobody to help me fix it.

I’m the people’s politician
I thought Musk was the vice president. I mean president.
I think it’s time for me to block posts from this community. Most of us came here as reddit refugees. No one on Lemmy should be suprised about the rapid enshitification of that platform. The best thing anyone can do is walk away completely and don’t look back.
Good, let porn migrate to https://lemmynsfw.com/ - finally more good content on Lemmy
And trans people are always welcome here! Direct them over to Lemmy as much as you can
My thoughts? Stupid that they had not left yet.
THIS ^^^
Right? Too late to organize after the entire sub gets nuked. The time to plan a migration or at least for backups is now! They don’t get it smh
you’re not wrong but Lemmy just doesn’t have the pop to get over the early adopters curve yet. This could very well do it though with how much people love their porn.
I think the main barrier to entry for Lemmy is having to pick an instance. For a lot of people that is confusing and they’ve never had to do it before. There are definitely people who would give up because they don’t understand what to do.
As someone on lemmy who had never had to pick an instance before, it’s not that hard. The instances have descriptions similar to subreddits. You just pick one that sounds friendly. The problem is lack of content diversity. I’m still on reddit for niche topics, some of which are actually not that niche.
It was confusing for me.
Day 1 ‐ “What’s an instance? Which one is the main one?”
“There is no main one.”
“Which one is the biggest?”
“Well, Lemmy.World is the biggest, but you’re not supposed to pick…”
“I picked Lemmy.World.”
One of us…
confusion comes from not knowing if youll get all content, most give you all content
Yeah but it will also influence your all feed, which is the main way of finding content when there’s no specific community for your interests.
Or sometimes you run into the propaganda instances/users if you pick wrong.
It becomes a hassle and we know normal people don’t want to even try.
For sure, I’ve always said that for the most part it doesn’t really matter. Make an account on anyone of them and if you don’t align with that instance in the long run you can just hop to a different one.
People like having long account ages.
Sure, and nothing prevents you from signing up to multiple of them.
I did the hop for mastodon but that was mostly because I learned an instance can set a higher character limit and I absolutely hate fucking threads of tweets.
Hello I’m very new. Why not Lemmy.World?
The idea being that reddit is one centralized service, with one “instance” and therefore if Spez says fuck you, you don’t have much recoarse.
Whereas on Lemmy, there’s many instances. So if the crowd spreads out evenly, no single instance gets too big, and therefore too powerful.
If the instance owner of Lemmy.world tells me to go fuck myself, I can tell him to go fuck themself. I can just go to lemm.ee or sht.jstworks (or however they spell it), or I could even interact with Lemmy from another service entirely. I could go to mbin, or piefed. Actually I have accounts on both that I don’t use.
After picking Lemmy.World innitially I tried a few others, but didn’t see the need to switch. Mostly I’m looking for a good stable instance that isn’t going anywhere. Which Lemmy.World fills those boxes.
But that doesn’t mean other people are wrong with what I’ve said. I appriciate all the people on other instances because choice makes monopolies disappear.
I’m sorry, I misinterpreted you saying “I chose world” as a negative thing.
I’m also on World and I like it a lot!
It was important to me to find a place that was similar enough to reddit to let my transition be easier. I’ve been on reddit for like 14 years and I just wanted an alternative that is close to what I knew.
I like world a lot, but in general I like the whole idea of the Fediverse.
However, if they become regulars, I think they eventually find communities they’d rather identify with.
“I picked Lemmy.World.”
For me, it was kbin.social - but kbin and lemmy didn’t play well together when I joined (and now it’s in its current state). Then I picked lemmy.world - and they went down one day due to the influx of users. Then I picked sh.itjust.works and I’ve been happy ever since. I’ll be staying here until the day I spin up my own instance.
"Lemmy has 42k monthly active users
- https://discuss.online/ if you want a server located in the USA (content is still accessible from any server, the most difference latency)
- https://sopuli.xyz/ if you want a server located in the EU
- https://vger.app/ if you want an app
Feel free if you have any questions"
I’m honestly tired of seeing people make the excuse that switching to activitypub is “too hard” because they have to pick a server. It’s 2025, is half of the population experiencing an intelligence regress or something
I think you’re underestimating how tech challenged the average user is. It’s likely that your circle and the lemmy community as a whole tends to be more tech savvy which kinda skews it a bit; but it’s a very, very tiny subset of people and not representative of the general population of internet users.
It’s crazy how little people understand about technology these days… But it’s also like this disinterest in even trying to learn.
There’s a spoon-sized amount of microplastic in our brains, ofc we are
Many people I personally know don’t even know how to use a browser, they do everything through apps served to them.
What in the heck happened lol we go from a generation of people building PCs, using DOS, hacking around in Windows and debloating operating systems, to people who can’t function unless their phone tells them what to do
building PCs, using DOS, hacking around in Windows
Only a tiny slice of the population ever did this. Some still do.
More did learn how to use Windows for their jobs, but that’s largely diminished now.
Some? I think there are more people doing such things than ever. It’s just that the growth of that community is overshadowed by the normies.
Yes, and it shouldn’t be a user-facing thing to pick an instance. Also identities shouldn’t be tied to instances.
NOSTR is not populous enough, its content is mostly waves of repetition from Twitter, Reddit, even Fediverse, but they’ve done the relays thing right (you use an initial list of relays, then clients exchange lists of relays, simple and not the most efficient way, but still functional enough for Gnutella, BitTorrent etc). Except the concept of a pubkey being an identity is naive. But if your NOSTR identity is not as important as your Facebook profile or phone number, then maybe it’s fine to make it a pubkey. They have paid or limited relays too, which store only events from their members. I don’t remember how it’s done.
It has the stigma of being done by cryptobros for cryptobros, but the technology itself involves no blockchain.
I still don’t like NOSTR, they’ve made some things simpler than acceptable. I like how it shows that the relay model works and even scales.
The usual issue brought up about Nostr isn’t the cryptobros, it’s the lack of moderation.
NOSTR has NIP’s for moderated communities, I don’t remember how many clients support that.
People always underestimate advertising. That is what I think is actually holding Lemmy back.
With good ads people would learn how to sign up fast. It’s not like it is harder than email.
well porn ppl all goto lemmynsfw anyways
Good point
First of all, how dare you.
There is at least one NSFW instance people could join if they wanted that content.
I don’t know why you’re so rude on Tuesdays. That’s “Tits Out Tuesdays”! Plus you get tacos!
Thursday can go fuck itself though.
Tuesdays are the worst. With Monday, you at least have the weekend’s rest behind you. With Wednesday you’re at least halfway through the week. With Tuesday you’ve got nothing.
Although if “Tits Out Tuesdays” was widely accepted I admit that I would change my tune!
People are forgetting this all springs from the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025.
THEY are the ones pulling the strings behind Trump. The corporations and billionaires funding that (not Musk) that are shelling out the cash and have been since the Reagan era.
Folks who think that the Pornhub ban in a few states and the ID request in others is the new norm are going to be in for a surprise when a nationwide ban gets passed shortly. That has always been on the agenda for them.
It’s a Christian Extremist agenda (think Handmaids Tale) and all you fuckers who voted for him or didn’t vote in retaliation allowed this shit to happen.
I cannot believe the amount shocked people I’ve ran across at work recently, who are Republicans who are still in denial and still think things are going to get better - or have some sort of bizarre belief that Trump is going to start suddenly making everything cheaper for everyone. Idiots!
When Trump won they realized they could use him. They spent the last 4 years pecking at his brain and writing up their dream bills for him to sign. There’s no way Trump is the instigator of the vast majority of what he’s signing.
Trump doesn’t even believe in 99% of the bullshit they’re having him sign. He just gets off on revenge and having a base of fucking morons that adore him as some kind of prophet.
He didn’t even put his hand on the bible to swear in. I didn’t even check on the cult logic for him not doing so.
They killed Roe v Wade already.
Step 1: Ban porn.
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit
I think banning porn is in part about getting birthrates back up. They’re scared of replacement. There’s the morality crap they’re tossing but the driving force is replacement theory and lost profit. They don’t want to be like Japan.
I don’t see how banning porn accomplishes this. Women are the gatekeepers who get to decide whether or not a baby gets born and as a population grows wealthier and more educated the women tend to have less kids. Has very little to do with porn which is mostly watched by men.
The solution to not being like Japan is immigration. That’s why our population isn’t declining every year like Japan. Without current level of immigration, our population would be decreasing every year and we would be like Japan.
Women are the gatekeepers who get to decide whether or not a baby gets born
Not under Republican rule they don’t!
I mean unless they start enforcing state sanctioned rape women have a choice of whether or not to have sex. I get your point though.
Iirc department of education said something like “young women are supposed to start families not go to college”
Maybe it was someone else but it goes to show how insane the federal government has become
They will have removed no fault divorce across a number of Republican states within the next four years, and none of those states will be investigating rape allegations inside a legal marriage.
I agree with you. This administration does not. I mentioned replacement theory in my comment. Thats why imigration wouldn’t work. They dont see it as an option. They also are working on a national ban on abortion. Ultimately they see us all as cattle, but to get the population up? Women would be more so. Think legislation that makes divorce almost impossible. Tax breaks for ‘traditional’ families. (especially those that have multiple kids). MAJOR propaganda to push people to have children. Imagine that upcoming Facebook AI army all telling you how great being a parent is. Deeper discrimination in the workforce.
As for banning porn, it makes people more horny. More than that banning, porn also could ban many sexual education resources available online. Maybe the regulate birth control OR make it only accessible through insurance. Nasty work. Hundreds of dollars for your birth control that you need to regulate your periods because you don’t have insurance.
Rather than finding porn horny people go out and try to have sex. More sex means more kids. Add to that the removal of those educational resources I mentioned and now you have teens who don’t know any better having sex and getting pregnant. Funny how Trump is about to attack the department of education. What kids would have learned in school is lost to budget cuts and just over welmed and new biased teachers. Oh and rest assured their will be new teachers. Passionate volunteers I’m sure, to help teach your kids to be little monsters for God.
All this starts with heavier regulation on porn. It might not be a full ban, but it could be an effective ban. You wouldn’t be able to search it, many sights wouldn’t host it, and accessing it would require ID (and probably payment ti help support the infrastructure that would require).
Partially, probably.
More importantly, it’s about absolute control
They were just testing the waters. They’re gonna do it again, mmw.
