Nothing to see here, just join lemmy promoting a pedophile instance. Not a good look for the fediverse (sh.itjust.works)

In case anyone is wondering, it's rqd2.

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

I wouldn't hold your breath, they didn't even want to remove the Nazi instance in their AMA.

Edit: To the responses, great, it's gone. Removing that pedo content shows that they're not too overworked to purge content like that from join-lemmy. So there's no reason for them not to remove the Nazi instances being advertised on the front page of join-lemmy. We'll just look the other way on that one I guess.

Yet they did remove other pedo instances from join-lemmy, so there's a good chance it'll get removed.

Okay, so they do have a line. Nazi's just don't cross that line for them. Awesome job, dev team.

Edit: Now downvotes on an anti-nazi comment. Lemmy sure has become a shit place as of late.

Nazis can’t really get them in trouble. CSAM can, and if it gets through one instance, all instances get it, and that’s a bad face for the Fediverse.

I think containing the Nazis to their own little instance is better than spreading them thin across everywhere else.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd rather they didn't congregate and feedback loop themselves into hate crimes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, but to do that on an open source platform?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Can't stop that of course, but can stop the free advertising. Better a lonely nazi.

That's not what the comment thread was talking about. It wasn't about removing the instance from running just to stop advertising it on the join-lemmy site and they refused.
