I saw talk of them being federated with instances like “exploding heads” (literal neo-nazis) and “posting lolis rocks”, along with having interactions from users there. Is that true? idk how to check for that, I can only just barely stumble around the normal forum interface.
If so, why? They’ve been going hard on purging communists user-by-user and comment-by-comment, which seems like a little bit of a secondary concern to nazis and pedos, especially something as simple as just blocking the instances at the very least. What’s going on over there?
What I mentioned, if it is correct, might not be exhaustive, I’m just repeating what I heard about.
Edit: Correction, exploding heads are closer to being latter-day blue checks, complete garbage but not as pressingly bad as the other site.
Keyword literal.
But nowadays people like to call Nazis other people that don’t agree with me and pedos weebs that like hs anime characters
So I agree with you if anything illegal is going on.
Are the Nazis advocating for violence and genocide and pedos distributing CP? sure block them and report them to the authorities.
But I don’t care for fictional characters that doesn’t even resemble real life humans.
Hot take I know.
Nazism, by its very nature, advocates for violence and bigotry. There are a lot of abhorrent viewpoints that are despicable before they become illegal.
Fuck them and fuck their claims and wanting free speech. That’s not even something they actually believe in.
There are some absurd people on this board with bad political analysis, but you can see that I edited the OP. Hopefully I didn’t offend your identitarian tendencies or whatever that toe I stepped on was.
The name of the second instance, let me remind you, is “posting.lolicon.rocks”. It seems to be run by an aggressively racist (loves to use the hard-r gamer word) pedo. Anyone who cheers what they even call lolicon is normally going to be some sort of 4chan-style sicko who probably pitched a fit at the Card Captor Sakura reboot having fewer upskirts.
When you get a chance could you do an AMA? I’ve never met a talking ostrich before.
To be clear, the “jailbait” forums that Reddit tolerated for years were not officially tolerating material that would be clearly illegal by US standards. If they had been, Reddit would have shut them down out of self-protection. Possessing outright child pornography is a strict-liability offense.
They were, however, posting “upskirt” photos showing children’s underwear. They were posting pictures of children at the beach in swimsuits. They were, in short, posting photos of actual children, where the photos had been selected for being sexually appealing to pedophiles.
Not drawings of fictional characters; real kids, selected for hotness to pedophiles.
I think that’s something about which site owners can very reasonably say, “Even if it is not a criminal offense, we think it’s wrong and we don’t want it on our site” without anyone needing to be concerned about censorship of ideas.
