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

The pedophile community is the largest local community and that should be all you need to know.

EDIT: Relevant discussion over on reddit

That's just disgusting. This is why aliens won't talk to us.

Great, this just makes us look bad. We need to do something to stop the bad and we need to overshadow the bad with good

I hate that people associate things in this way. Like if I see a bad website I don't think "wow Linux really sucks" or Nginx or Cloudflare or whatever other technologies they're using. I don't watch a bad movie and think the Blu-ray player is the problem.

Yeah, part of the problem is people thinking Lemmy is one thing instead of a web of lots of things but I still agree with you

Reddit had r/jailbait and the r/ the Donald. This instance is just a turd in a ocean of normal and niche communities.
