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

It looks like the instance has only existed for about a month, so it’s not too surprising it hasn’t been noticed before now.
They already removed pedo instances before, so they’ll probably remove this one. They seem to draw a much harder line on pedophilia than politics.
CSAM will bring negative law enforcement attention, whereas nazi content will get you a big thumbs-up from the cops.
edit: Downvoted by cops
That really surprises me considering their the lemmy devs’ leftist political beliefs
They’re authoritarian leftists, who support Putin. They have more in common with fascists than most people do.
That’s the thing with being pro free speech - it means not censoring speech you hate.
Things quickly get complicated when the speech is (potentially) harmful.

I didn’t take them to be free speech absolutists, though.
They’re as leftist as the “communist” China. Or as “socialist” as the Nazis were. Just because someone calls themselves “communist” or “socialist”, doesn’t mean it’s true. And if you support China, Nazis, Soviet Union or its successor Russia, you’re not a communist or socialist.
