I was not prepared for the number of penises I was going to see.

The median reddit post is dire!

I disabled the NSFW filtering. It's safe to say the median reddit post is amateur porn. Although I think in general, much of social media sites are basically icebergs where the subsurface volume is consists of various forms of porn. Tumblr and Mastodon definitely.

This includes NSFW content and weird things.

I sometimes forget how many different things are actually being posted to Reddit.

Posts tagged NSFW are filtered out by default, but yeah, a lot of stuff isn't really office safe.

Things are weird though. Kind-of a peek at what an unmoderated, non-algorithmic feed would look like.

Definitely already seeing illegal content (in basically any jurisdiction) being advertised. Really interesting look into how much of a moderation and legal service nightmare running this site must be.
