Mod Visigoth_860@lemmy.cafe posted a really creepy and pro-pedophilia post at https://lemmy.cafe/post/11105990
Mod immediately bans the two people that call it out as trolls.
Update: post is locked after two more bans
link says couldnt_find_post
if you wanna reiterate about a conversation online, it would be good to include screenshots of what was actually written. otherwise it’s hard to follow.
edit: nvm i found an archive in the comments
A paedophile is a person who’s sexually attracted to children before they hit puberty, so they lose interest in them around 10 or 11 years old. That weird (ex-)mod and all of you in here are talking about Ephebophilia, the primary sexual interest in mid-to-late adolescents, generally ages 15 to 19.
(I’m not arguing in favor of any of this!)
in the modern vernacular, it’s all pedophilia under a certain age… most scientific terms in common usage are used differently that the original definition…
basically nobody but ephebophiles are going to care about the distinction…
(also it’s the under 18 that’s the problem, so that term doesn’t really cover the meaning)
I think we can say this one is about wrapped up, they banned his mod account and the community from lemmy.cafe. Maybe he’ll start another somewhere else, but when that happens someone can just make another post.
Yikes this is not good, this person probably should not be a mod of this community, or any community really. Sticking up for pedophilia is a really bad thing to do and also probably could get the instance in legal trouble. This is way past power tripping in my opinion, it could be a legal issue for the instance.
lemmy.cafe’s admins should probably look into this and possibly kick out this mod, since it could possibly cause them some big issues later if he dos anything like this in the future.

That’s not possible, because it’s their own community and they’re the only poster in it. When this person inevitably gets banned and their community wiped, they’ll just register at another instance and make their own community there and continue. I don’t think that’s worth paying attention to - such behaviour just fundamentally cannot be eliminated without getting rid of the fediverse’s freedom.
Then they’ll get banned from there too, or they’ll get banned on all the big platforms and be effectively making their community irrelevant for everyone not on their instance. The thing is there are a finite number of instances and almost all of them have strict rules against this crap. If you start your own like people suggest, you still have to follow their rules or else they stop federating with you, taking the majority of the userbase with them.
Everybody who gets banned from anywhere has to face that their personal definition of what happened does not match somebody else’s. I say this from experience.
I agree with you, and I don’t know why you’re assuming I’m skeptical of OP. How am I not making it clear that I’m on OP’s side? I think OP and I had similar experiences with blahaj - a mod or mods decided we were being hostile when we both meant to be objective. Same thing seems to be happening with the douchevotes I’m getting here. Climb out of your bunkers, folks, you’re not under attack.
Translation: This person doesn’t believe the OP and is attempting to insinuate that OP is just whining about being banned. This sentiment reeks of appeal to authority bias/fallacy and isn’t constructive in this community.
Additionally it’s not correct since the moderator of said community has expressed sentiment that advocates, excuses, or otherwise finds acceptable, sexualization of minors, in other words pedophillia. I’m not going to debate this, here’s a snapshot of the post the mod likely panic deleted, it’s disgusting pedophilia apologia.
Translation: this person thinks they have psychic power to read my mind. Truth is my comment was meant to commiserate with OP. As I mentioned, I was saying what I said from my own experience. Anyway there’s a thing called “projection” where people read into something what they would mean if they said that, which is probably what we’re both doing.
