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
I think it just auto-discovers federated instances and randomly shows them on the page unless explicitly disabled…
True but it still isn’t a very good look for lemmy.
The only ones who have to be concerned about the looks are the instance admins.
Lemmy isn’t a product in need of marketing.You’re right, but this is the sort of thing that gets blown up by the media and used to shut down privacy-friendly platforms.
Maybe it’s a slippery slope fallacy on my part, but it’s not unimaginable to consider the idea that legislators could try to take down an enitre platform based on something like this. Just look at some of the proposed privacy-antagonistic legislation that’s been introduced recently to see what I mean.
The Fediverse isn’t a platform with a server you can take down, though. That’s the beauty of decentralization.
still shouldnt be listed there
Good point, yeah
Sry about that yall, I was out today.
Its gone now thx to @SleeplessOne1917@lemmy.ml .
Any admins as well as anyone that runs instance discoverers / crawlers like join-lemmy.org be sure to update your blocklists,.
Edit: In the future if anyone could make PR’s to this file, we’ll try to get to them ASAP.
Thank you
I don’t have a link, but the lemmy creators (and maintainers of join-lemmy) answered this in a AMA about a month ago. They said they’d prefer the horrible people concentrate in their own instances so we can block them easily rather than have them in our instances. The join lemmy list does not serve as an endorsement, but a catalog of all available instances.

Then they need to stop stonewalling and add user controllable instance blocking. I know that some clients have it but they’ve been rejecting calls to add it to the main lemmy codebase for a long time.
Saying it’s not an endorsement is playing semantic games. Join-lemmy.org is a site that promotes Lemmy, and having this instance there is encouraging new users to hop onboard an instance that encourages people to discuss how best to rape children.

Neither burggit nor comfysnug are shown on the instances page.
Seems like the kinda thing that comes down to “because it hasn’t been explicitly told not to yet”. It’s a computer grabbing from an ever changing pool of instances based on parameters, not a person hand picking what they like. Computers aren’t usually aware of social ques or laws…
That’s correct, its fixed now.
Jesus Christ the first local post I saw after checking it out was a meme about being a MAP from a user called “Matt Walsh”
I mean that’s hilarious but also damn it really isn’t a queer/kink instance that’s messed up
Yeah that lad is pretty active ngl. Atleast Matt knows that being a MAP is pretty hardcore ultra cringe. (https://rqd2.net/post/15585).
(Fuck why am I complimenting degenerates like MAPs?)
The word is pedo. Or goof, or nonce, etc. Let’s not give them any legitimacy by using their language.
Dam, that’s sad. That was the first instance I tried to sign up with but it wouldn’t get past the verified email part. Guess that’s a good thing, I had to look me into it as I thought this post was just another alt right witch hunt for trans people. Maybe a kink instance could be made with hard rules about that stuff. Really a LGBT community with a wiki would be good. I just got on here so maybe something like that already exists.

If anything, lemmy is making the LGBTQ+ community look bad by promoting this instance, and I wouldn’t be surprised if there are people pretending to be LGBT over at that instance to make the community look bad.
