Last year, while opposing Reddit’s API changes, a large number of subreddits turned from public to private or turned NSFW (Not Safe for Work) to impact ads on the platform. To prevent this kind of change, Reddit is bringing new rules where moderators will have to submit a request when updating community-type public or private or maturity ratings of SFW (Safe for Work) or NSFW.
why anyone is still on reddit is beyond me. it's so garbage at this point that it makes me angry any time I so much as see it referenced
