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

I initially thought this was an LGBT witch hunt. But unfortunately I have been shown that there actually is promotion of pedophilia there.

You really made about 20 comments before doing even a basic amount of due dilligence, huh?

I apologize, I thought I did, I read the rules, and I read on the frontpage, and it seemed pretty harmless.

And there were no posts here that showed anything actually wrong, but mostly what seemed like knee jerk reactions to the accusation.

Had I dug one step deeper, I would have found it. But my diligence wasn't diligent enough, and I wrongfully concluded it was an anti LGBT issue.

Turns out I was mistaken, and yes I was a bit slow to figure that out.

At least you can admit you were wrong and change your mind. Those abilities are all too rare.

Thank you. 😀

Respect 👍

More people need to learn how to gracefully accept mistake like you did, even myself.

Thank you. 😀 This mistake was a really bad one. I do NOT support pedophilia, but it may have looked like it. So better to admit fault.

But I also believe truth is more important than ego.

He even reported people lol

We were about to ban him for being a pedo apologist because of it. Luckily we did look a little deeper and saw that he had a realisation ;)

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
