@Diapergirl_bbg I've seen a lot of people upset that the type of stories they read are getting deleted this week… we might have a purge of abdl fic, or a purge of gay cops in non-romance detective stories, or a purge of certain fandoms, or a purge of Gaelic poems. Or, putting them all together, it looks like they've decided to delete hundreds of stories at random.
It's possible they're targeting some groups specifically; or it's possible that we're not realising how many people outside this little niche are suffering the same thing. Not sure which is worse, to be honest.
One guess is that they're using AI for moderation now. They've fed it a bunch of 'bad' stories and told it to find stories like those, so it went out and deleted every story that uses the same character names or set in the same city as one of its examples. (there was one guy commenting that it seemed to have gone through his work and deleted all the ones set in Baltimore; and three other people on the discord said "wow, same for me")
If that's the case, we can only hope they fix it soon. But I think that in any case, it would be good to make sure you're following your favourite creators on other sites too.
