Why is join lemmy promoting a pedophile instance?
(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.
Update: A pull request was sent to remove the sus instance. It should no longer show up soon
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.
