Comment on What happened to NSFL?

Some of it is the Disneyfication that goes with the enshittification at the Old Place. In pursuit of the Holy IPO, they banned a lot of that stuff. Some for good reason (child porn, toxic disinformation…), and some for not so good reasons (banning or NSFW-ing weed subs.)
Also happened at Tumblr (which killed it) and Youtube, which makes it incredibly hard on content creators as they get strikes on their account at the drop of a hat for petty bullshit. When a business goes big, and the suit-and-tie caste hear the siren song of stock options, all of the sudden they’ll start Big-Brothering everyone on the platform so some Wall Street boomer doesn’t publicly lose his shit and cause the share prices to tank.

Reddit brought down the banhammer hard on a lot of ‘controversial’ communities around 4 or so years ago.
