So Twitterification of Reddit.
Anime subs are flooded with pervs openly sexualizing children and calling for porn.
So... Pretty much the same as before July 1st /s
Jokes aside, I quickly scrolled the anime subs I used to frequent (by hot and then top daily and top weekly) and I didn't really see noticeable change, maybe I missed a big discussion that happened during protests since I stopped using reddit since then, but I don't really see what you described.
And before the protests there was already the occasional pro loli post, of course it wasn't a flood that's why I went to check.
Maybe it's something present on smaller subs?

Honestly this, I’m not hating on anime fans here but to pretend the overwhelming majority of people who consume anime content are not also massive weebs is dishonest.
I mean, being a weeb is not synonymous with loli stuff, especially nowadays where anime and manga have become so mainstream.
But I don't believe even for a second the narrative of "now that the good guys are off, reddit has decayed to the point anime fans are clamouring for loli" they already were, since the beginning, it is a constant and unavoidable "issue" (in the sense of controversial) in anime communities, always was and probably always will be.
Heck I remember one of the main mods of r/animemes posting loli on other subs, so it isn't like the people that directed the subs had much problem with it, it was just part of the rules they had to enforce due to multiple reasons (people not wanting to see that, it being a meme community, reddit rules over all, etc)
I think it's half moderators on strike, and half people acting disrespectfully because they have no respect for Reddit since Reddit showed them they have no respect for them. When the platform is run by a malicious faceless corporation there's less of a feeling of obligation to be civil, but on Lemmy these instances are being run by volunteers and when I see the hard work they're putting in to keep things running it makes me respect them and it feels more like an actual community that I want to treat well.

Goes to show how much bullshit the mods were filtering out for free. Glad to see them kicking back and letting it all go to shit after the recent shenanigans.
I was briefly a moderator of a sub with a few thousand subscribers, the amount of spam alone made me give it up. It’s relentless and never stops. The only thing that made it tolerable was the mod features in Apollo. I can’t imagine what it’s like with some of these really active communities with millions of subscribers. People just don’t realize how prevalent the spam/harassment truly is online, and Reddit screwing over the volunteers who clean up that shit is enough to keep me off for good.
I see a ton of those rate women or am I attractive type posts
Bait for onlyfans accounts.
Moderators are either absent or they post generic botty-sounding messages like, “Please be civil” while not actually moderating anything.
So they're refusing to work for Reddit for free. Good for them!
