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

That's the thing with being pro free speech - it means not censoring speech you hate.

Things quickly get complicated when the speech is (potentially) harmful.

This isn't a censorship issue. This is a choice about whether to publicise and promote pedophiles or not. No website has a right to be included in join-lemmy listings.
