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.

Don't be a coward, jerk off on your main and your alt!

In my experience it is better to segregate NSFW and SFW accounts. Not because it is shameful and I don't want people seeing, but because NSFW floods feeds and I can't get anything done when encumbered by pretty naked women. lol

A post i saw in reddit back in the day mapped the net of linked communities in comment section. To surprise of no one, nsfw and sfw were in practice fully seggregated.

Even in the Working From Home age, that content is Not Suitable For Work because the blood frequenty rushing away from one's brain isn't good for productivity.

And it's pretty wild when trying to scroll anything in public or with people nearby.

Not an issue I have to contend with personally as I don't use anything other than my laptop at home when I want to be on the internet, but a very valid reason to separate NSFW from SFW social media nonetheless.

I had it like this in Reddit and my account 90% porn only pretty fast and I missed all the non porn stuff 😅

So starting here on lemmy I decided to go for a split right from beginning on different instances to additionally check each instance’s meta community about downtimes in case of a downtime.
