The pedophile community is the largest local community and that should be all you need to know.
EDIT: Relevant discussion over on reddit
Great, this just makes us look bad. We need to do something to stop the bad and we need to overshadow the bad with good
I hate that people associate things in this way. Like if I see a bad website I don't think "wow Linux really sucks" or Nginx or Cloudflare or whatever other technologies they're using. I don't watch a bad movie and think the Blu-ray player is the problem.
Yeah, part of the problem is people thinking Lemmy is one thing instead of a web of lots of things but I still agree with you
Reddit had r/jailbait and the r/ the Donald. This instance is just a turd in a ocean of normal and niche communities.
