Something big is happening, as Reddit seems to have purged literally every NSFW sub they know. Reason is always “unmoderated” despite some of the banned subreddits being fully moderated.
Edit: seems to have been a bug in automation (thanks @lefty7283@lemmy.world):

It’s still a good reminder on how quickly a community (or communities) thousands of people enjoy and in some cases rely upon can disappear.
r/drugs has been banned?? That was one of my favorite place on Reddit back in the days :(I haven’t found a community for that here :(
(Edit: Drug Reddit was amaziiing, especially r/shrooms r/trees r/dxm | can’t really start a community because I’m not regular enough in this area, I guess that’s a good thing)
Same, when I was a teenager it was Erowid for all my questions, then r/drugs in college. I also loved r/tooktoomuch, which had the best life lessons to offer.
havent heard of ‘Erowid’ in a minute. Great memories back then, simpler times
Is erowid still good? I have it enshrined in the back of my head as the place for plant info
Erowid is used by researchers still AFAIK. Notably on MDMA research (they teamed up with MAPS).

Here’s one using it from last year: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39712538/
I learned so much off ppl tweaking off taking too much, life saver for sure.
I learned all the thing that kept me safe on there too; and the life story were interesting and also the trip reports and experiment!
This was something I couldn’t get IRL until a long time, and still, is not very active today (my friends and I are all busy we can’t really experiment !! Maybe next time we see each other)
