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.

Is it really that complex? The API fiasco had me moving here, and I'll tell you right now, I ain't the tech savviest.

You’re probably underselling yourself. Obviously everyone who can read this made it over this barrier so I knew there was a high probability of responses like “It doesn’t seem hard to me.”

I understand. But I’ve actually had lots of opportunities to sit in a usability lab, observing digital product testing with regular people. And let me tell you, most of them struggle with basics. TBH it can be hard at times to keep from bursting out laughing.
