Nothing to see here, just join lemmy promoting a pedophile instance. Not a good look for the fediverse

The definition of paraphilia is “a condition characterized by abnormal sexual desires, typically involving extreme or dangerous activities.”, which can inclde pedophilia.

It has recieved 4 censures from fediseer due to the content contained on that instance

Not a good look for Lemmy to be promoting any instance like that.

You can see for yourself here

Update: A pull request was sent to remove the sus instance. It should no longer show up soon

jsdz ,

“4 censures” doesn’t seem like a large number, accusing them of paraphilia is beside the point and makes it look like the objection is simply to queer people existing, and you should really gather more evidence than that before going around accusing anyone of pedophilia in this day and age.

On the other hand I had a look at that instance, and I would not federate with it.

You’re really reaching here.

A sketchy instance shows up near the bottom of an un-curated list of the largest instances.

Who exactly should we be mad at?

Also

"The definition of paraphilia is “a condition characterized by abnormal sexual desires, typically involving extreme or dangerous activities.”, which can inclde pedophilia."

"... can inclde [sic]".

Even a foot fetish can be described as paraphilia.

deegeese ,

WTF are you talking about fetishes for?

dramaticcat OP , (edited )

Even a foot fetish can be described as paraphilia.

That’s true! But it’s also hosting MAP (Minor Attracted Persons), zoophile, and Beastiality communities. It’s listed as a pedo instance on fediseer, and on fediblock lists, like the pleroma.envs.net blocklist.

@dramaticcat Thanks for the advise. I will add it to my block list.

I don’t have a link, and not saying I agree with their answer, but the lemmy creators (and maintainers of join-lemmy answered this in a AMA about a month ago. They said they’d prefer the horrible people concentrate in their own instances so we can block them easily rather than have them in our instances. The join lemmy list does not serve as an endorsement, but a catalog of all available instances.
