This is a real rogues gallery of internet. And… a soccer team from Detroit. What the fuck did those guys do?

As someone from Detroit, I checked out the link for that instance, and uhhhh I wish I hadn't.

[–] trash@lemm.ee 38 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I did the same. I was thinking, "cool, an instance close to home... Oh God.. no... No no no"

[–] Slowy@lemmy.world 50 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What was it? This list really piques my curiosity but I know it’s better not to look….

Makes me kinda wish that when defederating you could select a one word label for why. Like a fixed list with several options like pedo, spam, harassment, abandoned, etc and a default of other. Make it a bit easier with a big list like this to say, oh 1000 of these 1400 all selected "racism" when defederating so it's probably very racist and I should also defederate. But if it's a lot of "other" or inconsistent reasons maybe I should spend a bit of time digging.

You're looking for this: https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/censured. Us instance admin can also endorse other instances.

half are pedo servers 💀

[–] Arelin@lemmy.zip 105 points 10 months ago (2 children)

And the rest are racist.

Took a look through some of the ones with tame names out of morbid curiosity; not that interesting tbh. Just hope I'm not on a watchlist now.

[–] SuckMyWang@lemmy.world 45 points 10 months ago (10 children)

Last time I checked reading a racist comment makes you a racist

I wonder how many of these are defederated from each other too.

Is it all unity among the nazi-pedos or are they fighting amongst each other?

[–] Roflmasterbigpimp@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago (2 children)

That sounds like a Horror-Movie. Nazi-Pedos: they come for your Arian children.

Huh. I would have bet Lemmygrad would be up there somewehre.

[–] winterayars@sh.itjust.works 60 points 10 months ago (6 children)

Places like Lemmygrad and Hexbear are actually pretty benign. They're just on the verge of being acceptable to people so they make a lot of noise and cause a lot of drama but in terms of the actual bad actors... well, as you can see, they don't even rate.

I think this highlights what people think when they hear "defederating" vs its actual purpose. It's controversial when it's between serious instances that people actually use but with wildly incompatible opinions, but there's very few objections when it's blocking CSAM!

[–] Roflmasterbigpimp@lemmy.world 26 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Okay, yeah this was my thought as I wrote this, I won't deny it. But to be fair, LemmyGrad does more than just to be controversial. They provoke and brigade and justify terrible Crimes against Humanity. And I might bet that some of the Stuff they say could even be illegal here in Germany.

I think lemmygrad isn’t that bad considering pedo.school is halfway through the list.

This actually gives me hope. The biggest Instances coming together to stand up for good values and fight off vermin like Nazis, Pedos and other pests of Humanity.

seal.cafe, cawfee.club and sleepy.cafe sure got welcoming names. Given the number of defederations, I doubt the contents are anything like the names.

[–] viking@infosec.pub 71 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Most of them were automatically defederated for not having adequate protection against bot signups, that got nothing to do with sketchy content.

This should include a user count in each so we can see just how many pedos and nazis are being punted to their own little disgusting bubbles

[–] Sanyanov@lemmy.world 41 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (9 children)

A little correction: while some of pedo instances are full of potential child abusers, others are based on non-offending (i.e. stop fucking children ffs) principles.

The latter are actually extremely important since they provide a gateway for otherwise potentially dangeous individuals to gain support and find professional help. Trying to instead blindly seed hatred towards people with any immutable traits is never productive, be it any mental disorder, sexuality, or otherwise, same as race and gender. In this case, it only prevents pedophiles from seeking help, making them more likely to become the child predator type and actually pose danger to kids.

Being a pedophile is not a choice. Being a Nazi or a child abuser are, and those should fuck themselves (but also reconsider what they do and what they believe in).

The owner of poa.st, Graf is cringe and an idiot.

pawoo.net got taken down for CSAM.

The people behind Gab can't code themselves out of a paper beg. They got hacked 3 times.

TIL there's a LOT of instances that lemmy world etc are not federated with... For good reason

[–] Clbull@lemmy.world 40 points 10 months ago (3 children)

This is why I believe federation should be an opt-in process rather than servers being federated by default.

Some of you may remember when Lemmy World was flooded with CSAM by other hostile instances and had to temporarily disable image uploads.

[–] mojo@lemm.ee 57 points 10 months ago (8 children)

That would destroy the already limited content of the fedi. It's like people hate content discovery for some reason.

there are peoples who create instances for their families, who is going to manually federate with all these small instances?

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 42 points 10 months ago

Lemmy supports both blacklist and whitelist federation, but the only large instance that uses whitelist federation as far as I know currently is Hexbear.

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 35 points 10 months ago (5 children)

Some of these im... Curious about. Presumably the names are dog whistles (when they're not just openly stating their purpose)... But IDK the whistle so I'm curious af.

Not curious enough to get put on some list by actually checking them out though lol

[–] InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works 61 points 10 months ago (8 children)

Most of these are gonna be pedo/lolicon stuff, closely followed by unmoderated hate and spam instances.

It's funny/sad the stark contrast between the ones where you can't really tell why they're defederated from just the name vs the ones where it's extremely obvious (and how little in-between there is)

[–] pomodoro_longbreak@sh.itjust.works 29 points 10 months ago (10 children)

Not aware of any of these, which is nice, but iddqd caught my eye since that's a Doom reference! Overall I always thought the Doom community was pretty positive (at least going by Doomworld forums, and various Doom streamers, as I remember them). I thought surely it must be some misunderstanding! Oh maybe they didn't reply quickly enough to take down some drive-by hate speech, but that was it.

Anyway, holy shit, do not go to that lemmy instance. It's rotten to the core. I'm going to go take a shower and play through Episode 1 to cleanse myself now.
