Nothing to see here, just join lemmy promoting a pedophile instance. Not a good look for the fediverse (sh.itjust.works)

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

I don't have a link, and not saying I agree with their answer, but the lemmy creators (and maintainers of join-lemmy answered this in a AMA about a month ago. They said they'd prefer the horrible people concentrate in their own instances so we can block them easily rather than have them in our instances. The join lemmy list does not serve as an endorsement, but a catalog of all available instances.
