Banned from Thoughts@lemmy.cafe for not being a pedophile

Consider reporting it to the admins of the instance.

I've done that same thing with a similar sort of instance, and mods banned the community and the moderator from their instance.

Reporting works.

Community is called "thoughts".

Only one poster visigoth_860 who is also the mod.

Am I allowed to pee in the popcorn? because I got some thoughts.

Well, that's a user tag I didn't expect to have to make. Gross.

The community was deleted

☠️

I looked at some of the posts. One had an admin commenting on it, so I don't think they care.

That's probably the most disgusting thing I've seen within the last 18 hours

5 posts and 10 comments from the profile too...

Like, technically it's a "mod" but they just made a random tiny community on a small instance.

This is something you just DM admins about, I was under the assumption it was a major sub with implicit approval of that instances admins.

Edit:

Nevermind, at least one admin commented on that community and while they disagree, they're fine letting the user continue to advocate for pedophilia

Chris Hansen damaged society

There's a sincere argument that turning "Pedo Hunting" into a consumer spectacle has done nothing to deter the act of child sex trafficking and exploitation, but been fantastic for the NextDoor community of busybodies and concern-trolls. The #MeToo movement has flatlined. I don't see any real efforts to provide financial aid or social assistance to kids targeted for sex work. But lots of local news sites seem obsessed with elevating allegations of sex between kids to the front pages.

Reminds me of the Satanic Panic of the 1980s, wherein 12,000 unsubstantiated cases of Satanic ritual abuse were reported and investigated by prosecutors leaning into the national media trend and looking to make headlines. Right now, we've got a flood of Trans-Panic and Gay-Panic news articles that try and conflate kids going through hormone therapy with psycho-leftist parents doing mass grooming.

Doesn't look like this guy gives a shit about LGBTQ civil rights. But those that do are chronically aware of how simply being queer can get you tossed in the same category as creeps and predators.

I'm ok with it just being mostly gone, but the choice is yours.

or Richard Stallman,

Well, I learned something new and horrible today

Dude the mental gymnastics this guy tries to put you through to try and justify trying to make leftists okay with him wanting to fuck 15 year olds is insane. And you can tell he thinks he’s WAY smarter than he actually is.

Yeah I can tell you right now, as someone who has been a 20 year old man, they absolutely do not want to be with 15 year olds unless something is very wrong with them.

It's amazing how easily he stretched a 20 year to 15 year age gap to Matt Gaetz, who is like 40 years old.

Yeah, quite aware that's the mod and thought I said as much. Should I reword it to make it clearer that both the mods I refer to are the same?

Should probably report this stuff to their instance admins. That way it disappears completely, that's a better solution than pretending things don't exist, especially when it comes to shit like this where the person is a pedophile.

I'd also suggest letting your local instance admins know about it since once they know they can ban the user with content removal which will wipe out he community on those instances as well.

this person probably should not be a mod of this community, or any community really

That's not possible, because it's their own community and they're the only poster in it. When this person inevitably gets banned and their community wiped, they'll just register at another instance and make their own community there and continue. I don't think that's worth paying attention to - such behaviour just fundamentally cannot be eliminated without getting rid of the fediverse's freedom.

The part that really squicked me out was combining the drinking with the underage. Like they need to impair a naive person's judgement even more to have a chance. No way this guy has any game.

What is PTB? I assume it's not about tuberculosis but that's all I'm finding.

He's a pedophile apologist too, which makes it so much worse.

Yea i cant see it either, says post doesnt exist. They must've deleted it out of shame.

I downvote random posts all the time while scrolling. I like to think I usually catch it but I'm sure I miss a few. Whenever I get random downvotes on innocuous comments I just assume it's from someone else doing the same.

Translation: This person doesn't believe the OP and is attempting to insinuate that OP is just whining about being banned. This sentiment reeks of appeal to authority bias/fallacy and isn't constructive in this community.

Additionally it's not correct since the moderator of said community has expressed sentiment that advocates, excuses, or otherwise finds acceptable, sexualization of minors, in other words pedophillia. I'm not going to debate this, here's a snapshot of the post the mod likely panic deleted, it's disgusting pedophilia apologia.

It's good to be skeptical, but this case it's very real
