The only subreddits that’s really doing anything about it is YiffBondage and Yiffgif, who have the same moderator (here’s the link to their announcement: https://redd.it/14641t4)
All other subreddits I’m subscribed to won’t do anything. r/yiff and r/gfur haven’t said a word as far as I know.
This hasn’t anything to do with me running yiffit. For all I care they could setup their own yiff focused instance. The reason I care is because anyone who believes that Reddit won’t be ready to kill yiff subreddits to appeal more to advertisers is seriously deluded.
To be honest I believe that by the end of 2023 Reddit will have banned NSFW subreddits or at least most fringe NSFW subreddits just like imgur recently did the same. They’re just dealing with this 3rd party app thing first and after people have stopped caring about that they’re going to hunt down NSFW subreddits, starting with yiff or anything that’s “weird”.
If they don’t speak up now, it’ll be eventually too late.
I quote one of my favorite shows, “All this has happened before, it will happen again.”
It will just be a matter of time till those on the NSFW subreddits on reddit will finally realize this. But by then it will be to late.
maybe the mods of those subreddits don’t really think their users care? i’m really not sure. maybe they think this will all blow over? no clue :/
i just really hope this gives a chance for open source projects like lemmy, mastodon, and kbin to take off. i’ve always enjoyed them but they’re “kind of useless” without users
