    Spez.

    He’s spreading cheeks to the muskrat with both hands, and in the process, “accidentally” banned a ton of NSFW subs. This made at least some people realize that their future is not guaranteed on reddit, that an off-service backup is needed; then a r/piracy post mentioning Lemmy reached the front page.

        They’ve said it was a “bug”.

        However I can’t help but feel that it was an accidental “test” of a way to mass ban NSFW subs to be more advertiser and investor friendly.

          Yup, and even if they never use it, now their investors and advertisers know they could do it as soon as it’s commercially preferable.

          The button they built got pushed before it was supposed to and everyone’s like “Why’d you build the button?”
