Now, Googling the name does turn up some 8chan spin-off harassment stuff, so I think it’s at least a poor choice of a community name and possibly something worth discussing.

Yea I agree, the admins can feel free to ban it, I wanted it to be an ironic community about actual kiwis and not the infamous site.

It's a 1 day old account that I don't understand why they're mad at me. None of my communities are hate communities and many are for cybersquatting purposes

?

Getting Mullvad on my next paycheck.

Good choice

Ignore it and use a good VPN

Do you know where you're at?

Thank you

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

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.

Even a foot fetish can be described as paraphilia.

That's true! But it's also hosting MAP (Minor Attracted Persons), zoophile, and Beastiality communities. It's listed as a pedo instance on fediseer, and on fediblock lists, like the pleroma.envs.net blocklist.

This has nothing to do with LGBTQ+ people and your instance already defederated from them.

If anything, allowing join lemmy to promote that instance makes the LGBTQ+ community look bad.
