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

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.
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.
Good point, yeah
still shouldnt be listed there
Many Lemmy users wish their niche communities would become more populated. For goals like that, the reputation of the platform is important. I also don't want to get into defensive debates when revealing to someone that I use Lemmy.
Someone should then probably let them know 🤷
Removed by mod
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
Sorry if you've had to answer this question too much… where can I find out why these instances have been added to the blocklist? Some of them I recognise from previous incidences where someone has flagged them as problematic & provided evidence but some are confusing. I'm nervous about checking them out, but I clicked on one because it sounded very innocuous.
lemmy.glasgow.social just appears to be an instance discussing social events in Glasgow, Scotland, with additional focus on hacking / computer science… how come it's been blocked? In the modlog I can see that they had a bit of a user purge about 3 months ago with no actions taken since then. But there's never been any deleted comments or posts.
You can see the git log, or look at the PRs on that repo that edited that recommended-instances file.
Thanks.
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.
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.
They said they’d prefer the horrible people concentrate in their own instances so we can block them easily
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.
I am pretty sure I remember reading in the latest changelog that they just added it? At least on the backend they did. Probably didn't work out the frontend features for it.
I think it's important to add that the answer in that AMA referred to exploding heads (or maybe a different right-wing instance but something like that) and not this one. I'm sure the Lemmy devs would care a lot more about removing links to a pedo instance than a political one

Neither burggit nor comfysnug are shown on the instances page.
I'm not sure why. Maybe should ask them.
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.
I'd never heard of MAP, so just looked it up and went 'so a paedo then". Let's call a nonce a nonce.
It's not a real term. It was 4chan trolling.
Ah right, explains a lot.
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.
I agree, I hold no ill will to non offenders and hope they get help but the posts on there are not about getting help or coping.
I'll just leave these here…
https://www.rainn.org/news/how-prevent-child-sexual-abuse-material-csam
Err, are you sure about your words op? I just looked at their sidebar and it looks pretty clear about that, no?
Quoting :
"Nothing illegal under US (specifically Nevada) or local law. You know what that includes. (In case you don’t know what that includes, I mean child pornography [anything that fails the Dost Test], sexually interacting with minors, etc.) We have a zero tolerance policy for anything that fails the Dost test. Anything violating it will result in an immediate ban and removal of images. No admitting to anything that could cause the server to go under investigation, such as looking at child porn."
Edit : Well, looks like they don't enforce this rule indeed.
Don't be fooled, check the fediseer link provided in the post for examples
Their biggest community is a MAP community where they don't even pretend to not be pedos
MAP isn't a real thing, it's 4chan bullshittery.
Do consider that maybe the same people are both (1) abusing children themselves and (2) blaming child abuse on LGBT+ people.
I mean, if the GOP can do it, the chans can do it …
Or you can literally google the 4chan post where they come up with the idea and see it's just trolling.
Or you can look at the history of 4chan "trolling" and realize that it is almost always taken seriously by the very people it's intended to lampoon.
Hmm, have you checked any of their communities? There's a lot of communities on there that openly discuss being a pedophile and being attracted to children.
Well, I have know and you're right indeed.
Thanks to your awareness, its now the most popular listed.
Midwest Social?
Not at all. We actually block the offending instance.
Glad to know I joined the right instance
Because join lemmy is run by extremests
Everyone I dislike is a pedophile
Except u/sharkfucker420. They're a zoophile.
You dislike me? :(
Sharks do.
They are literally self-professed radical communists.
And like, more power to them, but they'll be the first to tell you that they are proud extremists
I realize that but I don't think it logically follows that extremist are therefore pedophiles or any more likely to harbor pedophiles
exactly this
