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.
Update: A pull request was sent to remove the sus instance. It should no longer show up soon
That instance list is built completely automatically by a crawler, no one approves instances before they are listed. In this case it was removed as soon as we became aware of it. Next time please make a pull request like that one, its much more effective than complaining.
The instances page at join-lemmy is completely automated
This definitely needs to get pushed to the two main devs for lemmy as they control that website
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.
