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

Great strawman but no, this is not free speech, this is illegal content and laws exist to prosecute those who disseminate it. Free speech allows you to offend others .. it doesn't give you a pass to break the law.

As I said I find the whole trying to pass off pedophilia as something normal horrible. That doesn't mean that them having their own instances and communities isn't part of free speech.

Real free speech isn't censored by law.

Again I'm just making an observation here it doesn't mean I'm okay with this happening but this is what we signed up for, liberty has a cost.

As far as I'm concerned those people should be put on a police watch list and have all their post be read by their local authorities lol
