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.

Remember during next pride month, when they change their X picture on western accounts, that at the end of the day most companies will kill without discrimination for a fiver.

What do you bet they don't even do that anymore?

$5 says almost no company does even the most perfunctory rainbow capitalism avatar changes this year, because, well, that'd be DEI or woke or someshit.

The telltale will be what they do in other markets, like Europe.

Are they going to be so spineless as to change for Belgium but not for the US? Will the 51th state have a rainbow?

I'm wagering they don't do anything at all anywhere. The absolute most might be a 'happy pride!' page buried somewhere.

But, honestly, as a gay dude, I don't care. This was all performative nonsense anyways. It was, at the very best, just some virtue signalling bullshit marketing thought might sell another car or book or potato or whatever the fuck, and never ever actually meant support or willingness to stand on principles or even get fucking involved in anything - though, I'll admit, there were a very few exceptions to that.

There's lots of shit needed, but an avatar picture that's just fucking marketing from trillion dollar companies ain't it, boss.

Yeah, I agree. I'm not saying at all it matters, but a lot of people bought into that.
