What is rednsfw?

rednsfw was a subreddit, now banned, dedicated to hosting and aggregating links to NSFW (Not Safe For Work) content from across the internet. It was primarily a content aggregator and discovery platform rather than a content creation site. It did not produce or host any of the actual content itself. The community focused on providing a central location where users could find diverse categories of adult material, and vote and discuss it.

Key aspects of rednsfw included:

  • Aggregation of NSFW content: The core function was to gather links to adult material from external websites.
  • Categorization: Content was organized by various categories, potentially including types of pornography, specific fetishes, or content creators.
  • Community interaction: Users could vote on links, comment on posts, and discuss the content.
  • Potential for copyright issues: As an aggregator, it faced risks regarding copyright infringement depending on how the links were shared and whether content was being illegally hosted elsewhere.
  • Ethical considerations: The nature of the content shared raised ethical considerations related to exploitation, consent, and legality.
  • Ban and moderation: The subreddit was eventually banned by Reddit, likely due to violations of the platform's content policies, including issues surrounding child sexual abuse material (CSAM), non-consensual content, or hate speech.
