View submission: Removing sexually explicit content from r/all
My understanding is that was one of the reasons r/popular was created. How does r/popular set itself apart from r/all going forward?

You are correct, it's one of the first things discussed with r/popular

I'm assuming popular hasn't been as "popular" as they wanted it, even though they direct logged out traffic there.

I'm okay with an opt-in only version of poular that's nsfw.. but to remove it altogether? That's a horseshit decision.

r/popular also filters a bunch of subreddits picked by the admins. Back in the day it included at least a few pro- and anti-Trump subreddits (but not r/politics), and I'm sure there are more now.
I've got NSFW disabled in my settings, but I've been using r/all even since the introduction of r/popular because I want to choose myself which subreddits to filter and not leave that decision to the admins.
