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.

Yet they did remove other pedo instances from join-lemmy, so there's a good chance it'll get removed.

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

[-] kn33@lemmy.world 160 points 1 year ago

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

[-] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 70 points 1 year ago

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.

It reads like one of those 4chan pranks actually gaining followers.

What. In. The. Actual. Fuck.

How can someone be so damn open about being such a terrible living being? I feel like I'm gonna puke.

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.

My day was far better before reading this.

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.

[-] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 70 points 1 year ago

It's on the roadmap for 0.19, so coming hopefully in a few weeks

[-] antik@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

Luckily we have fediseer, which we use to automatically block instances with, for example, the csam tag.

https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/detail/lemmy.world

[-] antik@lemmy.world 91 points 1 year ago

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)

[-] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 78 points 1 year ago

Yeah, no. I'm defeding with them.

Why must people do things like this it makes us all look bad

[-] seaQueue@lemmy.world 42 points 1 year ago

Honestly shit that blatant makes me think agent provocateur.

[-] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 48 points 1 year ago

Bro they're all like this heres one I just found They're so absurdly crazy I almost believe it's satirical even though I know they're probably being honest with their opinions

[-] seaQueue@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago

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

[-] SoleInvictus@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago

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

[-] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 27 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Die4Ever@programming.dev 33 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[-] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 22 points 1 year ago

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

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

[-] spaduf@slrpnk.net 49 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 72 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] agent_flounder@lemmy.one 30 points 1 year ago

At least you can admit you were wrong and change your mind. Those abilities are all too rare.

He even reported people lol

We were about to ban him for being a pedo apologist because of it. Luckily we did look a little deeper and saw that he had a realisation ;)

Jesus mother of fuck

[-] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 26 points 1 year ago

I hate people like that, they make the rest of us look terrible

This is not acceptable in any way, shape, or form

[-] kglitch@kglitch.social 22 points 1 year ago

How long has it been there? Months?

The lemmy.ml devs were ok with Nazi instances being on join-lemmy "because people can just choose to join a different instance if they want" (or words to that effect) so it'll be interesting to see how far they take that line of reasoning.
