  Sooooo much CSAM and lolicon on there. Disgusting. One question tho, what does “map” mean in this context?

  source

  • Fraylor@lemm.ee ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    “Minor attracted person” the whitewashed version of the word pedophile.

      Thank you! (Why did this get downvoted? Is this not correct?)

• 6daemonbag@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com is one cool dude. Their fingerprints are all over Lemmy in an obviously much needed manner. I’m glad I joined their instance.

    Agreed! I’m really appreciative of folks putting this kind of work into Lemmy.

  They’ve defederated from a bunch for no reason including lemmyunchained.net which is what I use. But I still see posts, why is that?

    Who are they?

    • ComradeSpood@lemmyunchained.net ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      A small instance where members vote on decisions regarding the instance. Haven’t really had to vote on anything though cause it’s so small and not a lot to vote on. But it’s nice it’s there for if we do need it.

    Defederation is a one way thing. I don’t recall which way it happens though.

  What’s up with all the pedo instances? Why are they creating instances in an open web? Are they dumb or something? It sounds to me that just registering the domain names of some of those could be considered a crime, nevermind openly inviting and hosting CSAM.

    Honeypots and also to discourage people from engaging to corral people into big tech where surveillance is #1

  • witchdoctor@lemmy.basedcount.com ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    It’s not a crime as long as they don’t post the actual content, I guess

    source

    • drathvedro@lemm.ee ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I am not a lawyer, but I imagine there’s no way I could register, or get away with if I do register something like “molester daycare” or “pedo toothbrush for kids”… Oh wait, apparently the last one is actually a thing. Well then I guess it’s not, but man that’s an unfortunate brand name

  What does “altfedi” mean? And what content is illegal in Germany and Czechia?

  source

  • zed@lemm.ee ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Maybe nazi bullshit? Alt as in alt-right and nazi bullshit being illegal in Germany 🤷‍♂️

  What does kiwifarm mean?

  • magnetosphere@kbin.social ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Here’s the beginning of the Wikipedia article:

    Kiwi Farms, formerly known as CWCki Forums, is a web forum that facilitates the discussion and harassment of online figures and communities. Their targets are often subject to organized group trolling and stalking, as well as doxxing and real-life harassment.

    So, it’s an assholefarm.

    Although the name originated with one particular site, it looks like the name now applies to any site that serves a similar purpose. Bleah.
