      r/formula1 is reopening as NSFW to “comply to the fullest extent of our abilities with these changes”:

      Formula 1 is inherently dangerous. Crashes and injuries are not uncommon - some even with fatal results. These incidents are discussed on r/formula1, and videos, images and other media are posted following these events.

      Formula 1 includes messaging and sponsors that are connected to alcohol, tobacco and gambling - all of which are legislatively prohibited or age restricted in various locations. We cannot prevent these from being displayed to underaged users, as they are incorporated in general Formula 1 imagery and content.

      Formula 1 is known for, both in the past and today, to include certain risque imagery that fall within the NSFW space.

      Reddit’s User Agreement states that “Children under the age of 13 are not allowed to create an Account or otherwise use the Services.” - As such it stands to reason that persons under legal age participate in r/formula1.

      Switching our classification means Reddit’s age verification shields underage users from being exposed to content considered harmful.

      Shitposting is funny because the auto mod they are using to remove posts cites removing the post in order to save bandwidth for Reddit. The auto mod post is much longer than post being removed and contains K’s. I found it funny anyway.

        I feel you, but in the end it’s just garbage content to piss off reddit admins and execs. Personally, I’d rather get quality content from the fediverse now, but I can understand that some people want to burn that other place down.

      One of the legal advice subs – I can’t remember which – was going forward requiring post approval from mods because they value community safety. But as they are unpaid volunteers they estimate it could take up to 14 days for post approval.

          Oh man. I wouldn’t want to anger a bunch of people who make it a hobby to fight scammers in a social psychology arms race.
