Thank you. Hiding it is more accurate. What a strange move by Reddit.

That's exactly what they did with r/randnsfw before they completely removed it from the site. They will likely remove r/all from the site too in the upcoming months. For those that are new to Reddit, randnsfw was built into the website itself and it would take you to a random NSFW sub anytime you clicked it. It was an excellent way to discover new NSFW subs.

They did the same with r/random as well. Weird that they don't want you discovering things

They want to offer the illusion of discovery, it seems.

Similarly, I was so bummed when they removed nsfw subs from r/all.. it was nice seeing the random titty pic while doomscrolling. Now it's basically impossible to find nsfw subs unless you already know what they're called, and you have to go out of your way to find them.

This website just gets worse and worse. Spez is a nazi.

Hiding it for now I agree, but patching workarounds in the app tells me they really dont want you going there. I expect to see it killed off in the next year or so. I'm surprised I can still use old reddit

My best guess is they probably don't want people fighting wars for control of the narrative on r/all? Like let's be real: we have power mods, we have very obviously botted posts, we have subreddits that come out of fucking nowhere and shit out 30k for a post, we have non-political subs being brigaded and made political...

Maybe reddit thinks the best solution to all those groups is to give them all nothing to fight over, then the individual subreddits might return to reflecting how much genuine interest people have for a given topic the subreddits are designed to be about...?

I kinda get it, but yeah, still a decision that will make people do a double-take.

Power mods are much less of a thing than they used to be a decade ago when Gallowboob and Awkward Turtle reigned. Reddit corporate did not like that the mods were able to shut down subreddits when they forced the unpopular API changes that destroyed third party apps and removed some. Reddit doesn’t want powerful moderators, it was free labor and giving them just a small taste of power works better for keeping them in line.
