    Different things. Tumblr actually banned NSFW, Reddit is reminding its mods that using tools provided by a platform to try and harm that platform is pointless. I have no idea what people thought would happen tbh. That Reddit would look at subs going “we’re going to go NSFW mode entirely for the sake of denying Reddit ad revenue”, not even bothering to change rules, and just say “yeah, fair cop”?

      Many of them (r/military, r/cyberpunkgame) absolutely should’ve been NSFW to begin with though, so they have a point when they say reddit is asking them to ignore their own rules when it suits them.
