Reddit is apparently removing the NSFW label from subreddits that it feels shouldn’t have it.

That’s based on screenshots shared in the moderator coordination subreddit, including a message from the Reddit admin (employee) account u/ModCodeofConduct.

A few of that account’s messages have leaked online, and it openly prepared for that possibility here, too; in the message it said that “you are welcome to share a screenshot of this message with your community.”
