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.

Yeah a lot of banned nsfw subs today at /r/BannedSubs. People are saying it's because next week Reddit is gonna announce their Q4 earnings and want to attract more investors and advertisers to their "cleaner" site. Lame-ass puritans, I'd say.

edit: Looks like the bans have been reversed. A reddit admin claimed it was "a bug". Bruh, what kind of bug would only affect veeeery specific nsfw and political subreddits lmao.

Testing a new AI moderator in production, I’d wager.
