This could be a nothingburger but it could also be indicative of something big going on. The banned subs included some of the big ones like /r/rule34.

Pro tip: if Reddit is not allowing you to view NSFW content in a browser, you can replace the "www" in the link with "old" which will take you to the old web interface which would allow you to view NSFW after a confirmation.

Reddit is filled with children.

There shouldn't be any NSFW subs there.

Admins saying it was a glitch. Kinda sus a glitch would somehow only effect the NSFW subs.

I was somewhat expecting that to be the case. The bans happened all so sudden and then quickly got reversed. It just made no sense why they would do that.

But then, yeah, who knows what they're actually cooking. They temporarily banned /r/whitepeopletwitter yesterday. Someone said that it's because the users where doxxing people on there, which makes sense as the "no doxxing" rule is quoted on the ban message. This could have been somehow related.

Some are saying that Reddit is planning on closing NSFW subreddits because of MAGA influence or whatever. I don't really buy into that shit cuz it's dumb, but who knows. Here is one post talking about that perspective.
