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

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.
