Their biggest community is a MAP community where they don't even pretend to not be pedos

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.
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.
You realize that they host MAP, beastiality, and zoophilia communities?
It's one thing to host kinky communities (a-ok as long as it's legal), it's another to host pedo communities. Check the fediseer link listed in the post for examples.
Ignore it and use a good VPN
