They're communities. And the different servers/sites are instances.

thats a lot of words for "im ok with pedophilia"
personally i dont associate with the kinds of people who are ok with pedophilia
Ooh, spicy. Reddit really does want to turn this into the biggest messiest drama they can, huh?
Burggit advertises itself explicitly as a "loli/shota/cub friendly" NSFW instance. (Those words mean little girls, little boys, and little furries respectively) You can see this over on join-lemmy.org
I already thought this was kind of a sus concept (plenty of silly things you can jokingly hate on people for that aren't "impure skin" which comes way too close to real bigotry) but then you said it's on burggit, the explicitly pedo instance lmao
This shit needs a flamethrower asap
Yup, there's no way they can't just hide specific instances from the list. And they really should. The only explicitly NSFW instance being an explicitly pedo instance is a really bad look. Exactly the wrong kind of early reddit vibes.
the way it is cited
The way that it isn't cited*
That's just not how citing sources works lol
That's really not relevant unless the user mentioned wrote the article. I'm criticizing the article for not citing sources.
Where in the article did you find that link?
Just saying that someone said something is not citing a source. They taught us this in elementary school.
yeah, over on hexbear comms is the usual parlance anyway. the wider lemmy population with the new reddit people might change that though
