Nothing to see here, just join lemmy promoting a pedophile instance. Not a good look for the fediverse (sh.itjust.works)

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

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.

    Holy fuck.

    I was a teacher for a private company at 17. I taught kids aged 6-14. A couple of my students I had occasional intrusive sexual thoughts about.

    She was 8, which was way below my AoA of 12+, and she certainly hadn’t started puberty. But she was attractive. She made me nervous, I thought about her everyday, I envisioned what we’d do together–she was just like any crush to me, only instead of an adult, she was a kid. But does that really make a difference? She was a person. What should age have to do with love? Eventually shit happened.

    They even call it the pediverse.

    Hello! I’m AR15U! I’m the owner of rqd2.net! I’m transgender and transrace, and questioning transage and transabled. I’m a MAP as well

    What in the unmitigated fuck is this? How can someone be so ridiculous... transrace? Transage?! Transabled?!! Is this some sort of weird roleplay to make trans people look silly?

    Appropriate gif

    It wouldn't surprise me at all to find out that they are trying to make trans people look bad.

    Yeah, I think Poe’s Law may be in full effect here. The law basically states that without some sort of signifier that it is parody, it’s impossible to create a parody of an extremist that is so extreme that it’ll never be mistaken as genuine. It was originally applied to fundamentalist Christians, but has since been expanded to pretty much any trolling or extremist viewpoints.

    I genuinely hope that it’s a troll trying to make trans people look bad. Because that’s honestly the best-case scenario. The idea of this person actually existing is more gross than the alternative. Because if they actually exist, then it means they’re not just a troll trying to make trans people look bad. It means they’re a goddamned predator who needs to be sequestered away from the rest of society, and should never be allowed near children.

    People like this are guaranteed to exist. With the wide spectrum of sexualities out there plus the sheer numbers of human population, there was more than likely going to be a few that are trans and pedo. Just like how there are Catholic pedos, Buddhist pedos, certainly hetero pedos and yes, some gay pedos.

    Any attempts to hold up a trans/pedo or a gay/pedo as the norm for trans or gay communities needs to be shot down as the disingenuous crap that it is, because we know damn well that we can hold up a cis/pedo or a hetero/pedo as the norm and it would obviously be just as invalid.

    What's horrifying is the amount of pedo apologists on some lemmy instances. They screech that as long as they aren't touching kids they're free to be attracted to kids because it's not hurting anyone. Anyone that looks at a kid and thinks sexual thoughts already crossed a line and should never be allowed access to children or the internet. Horrifying. Pedo is not a sexual orientation.

    The person in the quote you're responding to is saying they actually abused a child and are defending that act. IMO this in particular should be much more harshly condemned; communities of people excusing and telling each other it's ok to abuse children.

    Lemmy really really needs instance blocking. Yes I know some clients have it but Lemmy itself needs a way to enable users to fully block another instance and all of its communities.

    It's a disgusting, terrible instance. Back when I added them to our blocklist and fediseer they even had pedobear on display as if they were proud. They have a MAP community and Pedo memes.

    The link posted by OP has our findings in it with a few of their posts on an archive site for those who don't want to go to the instance directly: (https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/detail/rqd2.net)

    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.

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

    EDIT: Relevant discussion over on reddit

    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 initially thought this was an LGBT witch hunt. But unfortunately I have been shown that there actually is promotion of pedophilia there.

    You really made about 20 comments before doing even a basic amount of due dilligence, huh?

    I apologize, I thought I did, I read the rules, and I read on the frontpage, and it seemed pretty harmless.

    And there were no posts here that showed anything actually wrong, but mostly what seemed like knee jerk reactions to the accusation.

    Had I dug one step deeper, I would have found it. But my diligence wasn't diligent enough, and I wrongfully concluded it was an anti LGBT issue.

    Turns out I was mistaken, and yes I was a bit slow to figure that out.
