To continue the previous comment, I want absolutely no association with people that like to play games with terminology like this.
I don't want any connection with a person that would be okay with sexualizing children, or changing names of the evil people who do it under the guise of being tolerant or pc or some shit.
I don't want any loli garbage, hentai, nazis, etc.
And that the Fediverse seems to not have any content moderation ( am I wrong/missing something?) makes me want to give up on it.
Maybe go outside, write music, read a book.
The fediverse isn't a unified whole. Some instances don't have moderation or have shitty inconsistent moderation. You should move to an instance like beehaw.org or lemmy.blahaj.zone if you want admins that don't put up with that shit. Both will ban users and other instances that do that allow that kind of shit. While lemmy.world seems fine with it, but if you call out their use of discord they may ban you.
