Reddit is purging NSFW subs as well as trans-related subreddits (old.reddit.com)

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.

How is nsfw Lemmy doing for hosting costs? Seems like it would be expensive to maintain all the images.

Just like reddit it mostly doesn't host the images itself, but simply links to them. Redgif seems to be the host of choice for most, although some also use catbox.
