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

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

Yeah, no. I'm defeding with them.
Why must people do things like this it makes us all look bad
- Honestly shit that blatant makes me think agent provocateur.
  
  Bro they're all like this heres one I just found
  They're so absurdly crazy I almost believe it's satirical even though I know they're probably being honest with their opinions
  
  Yeahhhhhhh, that's just shitty fascist bait. I'm surprised no one has reported that instance to national authorities yet, it can't federate if the people running it are busy with the FBI.
  
  I can guarantee the vast majority of those posters are kids themselves just doing stupid cringey edgy kid things.
  "What's the worst thing I can think of? Let me join a community in support of it, that will show my parents"
  Just look at that shit. It's cringetopia.
  
  Sadly not all of them are. I looked at the instance and clicked on a post where they share some book that collects "positive examples of grownup-child sexual relationships". With a huge rabbit hole attached I won't descend further into. This is legit some dark corner of the internet shit.
  
  I mean, I think we should probably treat it the same way we'd treat any site that has content like that. Defederate from it, obviously, and then report the site to your national authorities who handle sites with that material. I'm sure the FBI would love to know that site exists so they can have a nice chat with the operator.
- It's intentional, that flag was made by 4channers trying to push the "MAPs are part of the LGBTQ community" line, specifically to confuse with resemblance to the trans pride flag.
  
  Personally I think we should have a MAP flag...
  It should be grey, black and orange.
  Grey and black represents the bars, orange represents the jumpsuit.
  Pedophilia is a crime, not a sexuality, and the day this becomes a controversial statement is the day humanity is officially unworthy of its continued existence as a species.
  
  Of course it is/was
  If you're gonna screw kids why not screw everyone else too
- I suggest you use fediseer on your instance if you want to keep up.
  
  What exactly do you mean? I've been meaning to set up Fediseer but I haven't gotten around to learning about it, and would appreciate any guidance you could give me
  
  With fediseer you can Endorse instances and then you can follow the blocks those instances do. So for example you endorse lemmy.world and literature.cafe and when either one of them adds an instance to their blocklist on fediseer they will also be blocked on your instance.
  You can even follow those blocks just for certain tags. Let's say you don't want to follow for "inactive admins" but you do want to follow for "neo-nazis" and "CSAM".
  It's pretty cool and the functionality keeps expanding. Before it was more like a ring of trust but the developers have really been listening to what the community wanted and there has been a ton of progress. It's created by @[email protected] and @[email protected] who added the gui and loads of extra features.

  If you need any help, do let me know (on Matrix, preferably, but I can do PMs) and I can help set you up.
- The only about the Devil's Advocate I'm willing to give for someone who is attracted to children, is that I think they should be provided services to designed to prevent them from attacking people, and that they should be free to seek therapy to minimize their chances of attacking others without scrutiny.
  But that's the end of my symapthy anyone willing to force themselves upon a minor literally does not deserve to live.
- I mean this is real free speech. We might find what they say and talk about horrible. But that's what real free speech gets you
  
  and we're all free to say fuck off.
  
  Exactly
  
  Great strawman but no, this is not free speech, this is illegal content and laws exist to prosecute those who disseminate it. Free speech allows you to offend others .. it doesn't give you a pass to break the law.
  
  As I said I find the whole trying to pass off pedophilia as something normal horrible. That doesn't mean that them having their own instances and communities isn't part of free speech.
  Real free speech isn't censored by law.
  Again I'm just making an observation here it doesn't mean I'm okay with this happening but this is what we signed up for, liberty has a cost.
  As far as I'm concerned those people should be put on a police watch list and have all their post be read by their local authorities lol
  
  freedom of speech means that the government cannot censor you. Lemmy is not the government
