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

True but it still isn’t a very good look for lemmy.

The only ones who have to be concerned about the looks are the instance admins.
Lemmy isn’t a product in need of marketing.

You’re right, but this is the sort of thing that gets blown up by the media and used to shut down privacy-friendly platforms.

Maybe it’s a slippery slope fallacy on my part, but it’s not unimaginable to consider the idea that legislators could try to take down an enitre platform based on something like this. Just look at some of the proposed privacy-antagonistic legislation that’s been introduced recently to see what I mean.

The Fediverse isn’t a platform with a server you can take down, though. That’s the beauty of decentralization.

Many Lemmy users wish their niche communities would become more populated. For goals like that, the reputation of the platform is important. I also don’t want to get into defensive debates when revealing to someone that I use Lemmy.
