    Lmao this puritanical turn from all these tech companies over the last 5-6 years I don’t get it. All they are going to do is speed self-immolation. What is happening to the internet.

    Which is kind of funny because one of the reasons Reddit got so big was because of the pornography

    That was like, half the reason I used reddit, lol. Otherwise it’s just a shithole full of “aHkshUaly” people.

    Take your clothes off, or give me something actually interesting and insightful to read, or fuck right off.

    If you own a NSFW sub or are a moderator of one, you still have the possibility to see NSFW content over third-party apps / API

    This is the true final blow to third party apps.

    I noticed they did something similar to the mobile website. Even with appropriate content blockers there’s absolutely no way you can see sexually explicit content on mobile without their app.

      They even do the same thing with SFW posts, they just say it’s “unreviewed content” or whatever.

    I just tested with Relay. I can view NSFW subs. I should note my account seems to be flagged as NSFW for posting to interestingasfuck after it went NSFW.

    Not just porn! Since reddit only has one such tag you can apply to posts, many subreddits were using the NSFW tag for a wider variety of reasons such as spoilers, content which may contain unsettling material (aka “triggers”), and more!

      The stoners on Reddit got screwed - many of the weed subs got the banhammer, and the rest got NSFW’d because spez wants Reddit as G-rated as Disney for the IPO.
