    The internet. It's a fucked up place. Nothing like what the big players on the internet would have you believe.

    So long as there exists a way for people to not get prosecuted, these things will exist.

    Realistically, the more accessible the internet becomes the more it reflects the behavior of humanity at large.

    These things exist because they're part of us. The internet probably makes them more visible, but I doubt it makes them more extant.

    As someone from Detroit, I checked out the link for that instance, and uhhhh I wish I hadn't.

    Yeah, I did the same. I was thinking, "cool, an instance close to home... Oh God.. no... No no no"

    Makes me kinda wish that when defederating you could select a one word label for why. Like a fixed list with several options like pedo, spam, harassment, abandoned, etc and a default of other. Make it a bit easier with a big list like this to say, oh 1000 of these 1400 all selected "racism" when defederating so it's probably very racist and I should also defederate. But if it's a lot of "other" or inconsistent reasons maybe I should spend a bit of time digging.

    And the rest are racist.

    Took a look through some of the ones with tame names out of morbid curiosity; not that interesting tbh. Just hope I'm not on a watchlist now.

    I wonder how many of these are defederated from each other too.

    Is it all unity among the nazi-pedos or are they fighting amongst each other?

    This actually gives me hope. The biggest Instances coming together to stand up for good values and fight off vermin like Nazis, Pedos and other pests of Humanity.

    seal.cafe, cawfee.club and sleepy.cafe sure got welcoming names. Given the number of defederations, I doubt the contents are anything like the names.

    The owner of poa.st, Graf is cringe and an idiot.

    pawoo.net got taken down for CSAM.

    The people behind Gab can't code themselves out of a paper beg. They got hacked 3 times.

    This should include a user count in each so we can see just how many pedos and nazis are being punted to their own little disgusting bubbles

    A little correction: while some of pedo instances are full of potential child abusers, others are based on non-offending (i.e. stop fucking children ffs) principles.

    The latter are actually extremely important since they provide a gateway for otherwise potentially dangeous individuals to gain support and find professional help. Trying to instead blindly seed hatred towards people with any immutable traits is never productive, be it any mental disorder, sexuality, or otherwise, same as race and gender. In this case, it only prevents pedophiles from seeking help, making them more likely to become the child predator type and actually pose danger to kids.

    Being a pedophile is not a choice. Being a Nazi or a child abuser are, and those should fuck themselves (but also reconsider what they do and what they believe in).

    This is why I believe federation should be an opt-in process rather than servers being federated by default.

    Some of you may remember when Lemmy World was flooded with CSAM by other hostile instances and had to temporarily disable image uploads.

    Some of these im... Curious about. Presumably the names are dog whistles (when they're not just openly stating their purpose)... But IDK the whistle so I'm curious af.

    Not curious enough to get put on some list by actually checking them out though lol

    It's funny/sad the stark contrast between the ones where you can't really tell why they're defederated from just the name vs the ones where it's extremely obvious (and how little in-between there is)

    Not aware of any of these, which is nice, but iddqd caught my eye since that's a Doom reference! Overall I always thought the Doom community was pretty positive (at least going by Doomworld forums, and various Doom streamers, as I remember them). I thought surely it must be some misunderstanding! Oh maybe they didn't reply quickly enough to take down some drive-by hate speech, but that was it.

    Anyway, holy shit, do not go to that lemmy instance. It's rotten to the core. I'm going to go take a shower and play through Episode 1 to cleanse myself now.
