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

see linked post. I believe this would count as one of the examples given in the federation policy https://lemm.ee/post/401063 :

An instance which is knowingly spreading CSAM into the federated network

    I mean this is real free speech. We might find what they say and talk about horrible. But that’s what real free speech gets you

    This is why I do not believe in free speech absolutism.

    Nazi shit, pedo shit, etc. should not be tolerated and there is absolutely nothing wrong with silencing these sick fucks.

      The problem is who gets to decide what’s acceptable and what isn’t? It’s fine IRL because if you say something horrible you get shunned but online you can always find people who agree with you and those people will always make their own echo chambers and isolate themselves

      Only way on such a large scale is moderation but that’s a never ending battle and requires a small group of people or single person deciding what’s acceptable

        There is no “they”. Every server has the ability to tailor its own federation list, fediseer simply spreads out the labor of actually poring through hundreds of different websites by providing a centralized repository of information. We can take that information and use it however we want.

        I’m sure we at least agree that CSAM is completely unacceptable, right? So there are some servers that need to be defederated and censured. The only question is how many, and what other problematic behaviors also qualify, and the answer will be slightly different for each server.

        Does that alleviate your concerns?

          Im just annoyed by the default instances on your website and their very common use of “bigotry” as reason to defederate, i don’t actually care about what other instances do as long as Shitjustworks holds up to its name.

            Ok, fair enough. It’s not my website, it was created by db0 and rikudou. Many thanks to those two for doing important work for Lemmy 🫡

    I’m not 100% sure on how Lemmy works with federation, but isnt there a risk of illegal content being mirrored to your instance if someone here hits a post from the bad server too ?

    Do you have an example of CSAM being posted there?

    Just mentioning paraphilias in the description is a bit light, especially with the rest of it being pretty tame and inclusive…

    They could probably be talking about legal paraphilias like cars and tentacle monsters

    Edit: ah nevermind they host a lot of kid stuff
