Now, Googling the name does turn up some 8chan spin-off harassment stuff, so I think it’s at least a poor choice of a community name and possibly something worth discussing.
Yea I agree, the admins can feel free to ban it, I wanted it to be an ironic community about actual kiwis and not the infamous site.
It's a 1 day old account that I don't understand why they're mad at me. None of my communities are hate communities and many are for cybersquatting purposes
Getting Mullvad on my next paycheck.
Good choice
Ignore it and use a good VPN
Do you know where you're at?
Don't be fooled, check the fediseer link provided in the post for examples
Their biggest community is a MAP community where they don't even pretend to not be pedos
Guess that’s a good thing, I had to look me into it as I thought this post was just another alt right witch hunt for trans people. Maybe a kink instance could be made with hard rules about that stuff. Really a LGBT community with a wiki would be good. I just got on here so maybe something like that already exists.
If anything, lemmy is making the LGBTQ+ community look bad by promoting this instance, and I wouldn't be surprised if there are people pretending to be LGBT over at that instance to make the community look bad.
Even a foot fetish can be described as paraphilia.
That's true! But it's also hosting MAP (Minor Attracted Persons), zoophile, and Beastiality communities. It's listed as a pedo instance on fediseer, and on fediblock lists, like the pleroma.envs.net blocklist.
This has nothing to do with LGBTQ+ people and your instance already defederated from them.
If anything, allowing join lemmy to promote that instance makes the LGBTQ+ community look bad.
