That's extremely dramatic to say. Did you even read the full post? They aren't doing anything unreasonable, compared to say Tumblr, and what they did. All they are doing is putting NSFW content behind a login. Nothing is getting deleted, or not allowed anymore.

Yeah I read the same thing and it’s a repeat of when Tumblr, Tripod, Yahoo Groups, etc all started their paths to remove NSFW content.

Tumblr put stuff behind a login before eventually purging it.
