Nothing to see here, just join lemmy promoting a pedophile instance. Not a good look for the fediverse

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.
Update: A pull request was sent to remove the sus instance. It should no longer show up soon
That is the current front page of the MAP magazine on rqd2. You can look for it yourself or you can use this link. By all means don't just take my word for it.
I only preface this with one warning.
I have moderated various platforms over the years, some with kids and some with vulnerable people including troubled teens and disabled people. I've seen just about everything and shaken off everything. The only exceptions involved the sexual abuse of minors. Those are the ones I remember. Dealing with this kind of stuff, even as just a moderator, an outside party if you will, hurt my soul.
What's on this page is by no means graphic, either in textual details or images, but is instead disturbing in another way. Knowing what kinds of situations the kids these people talk to are inches away from, or heck, possibly are neck deep in already, and they talk about it like you and I might talk on a relationship magazine on any other instance.
You have been warned

Thank you, it didn't look so bad on the front page, but I can see what you mean now. There are several posts that try to normalize pedophilia.
If it was a lot more like 'how do I deal with this so that the people around me are safe?' I'd be a lot more sympathetic to the mag and instance to be honest.
There are some pedos that do their utmost to deal with it in a safe way, like avoiding kids where possible and getting psychiatric help. I'd have no problem at least leaving that group alone.
I agree, you can't decide an urge, but you can decide how you act on it.
