This includes some porn subreddits as well as subreddits like /r/Drugs. Apparently due to being "unmoderated", but some were not. What are your thoughts?

Edit: apparently also subreddits like /r/transgender_surgeries is banned too. Definitely feels politically motivated.

I'd be a little nicer: there's at least one if not two generations now who have never communicated outside of these walled gardens.

Like, I'm entirely certain some of my niblings have no fucking clue what a text message is, since they grew up on snapchat and whatsapp and facebook messenger.

Perhaps a reasonable outreach that's not just 'u suck for using nazi shit!' (which uh, I do agree with) might be a little more useful in capturing anyone under the age of like, 30.

Fair enough. That doesn't excuse the hundreds of millions old enough to know better.
