Nothing to see here, just join lemmy promoting a pedophile instance. Not a good look for the fediverse (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.

You can see for yourself here

Update: A pull request was sent to remove the sus instance. It should no longer show up soon

To me, that image looks like an example of indexing, not promotion.

If the pedophile site uses Lemmy software, an index of sites using Lemmy software would include it.

Is there additional information that would tilt the scale toward this being promotion rather than simple indexing?

It is simple indexing but other pedophile instances like burggit and comfysnug were removed from that list of instances to join. It isn't a good look when someone is looking to join an instance and they see that one as one of the first to join, especially if they are looking for an LGBT-friendly instance. I dont want anyone to be fooled when trying to look for a lemmy instance to join.
