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.
[email protected] 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.
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.
It's not a crime as long as they don't post the actual content, I guess
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.
Yeah, I did the same. I was thinking, "cool, an instance close to home... Oh God.. no... No no no"
What was it? This list really piques my curiosity but I know it’s better not to look….
Jesus one is just called pedo school. What the actual fuck
How to spot a honey pot 101
Really hope so
The internet. It's a fucked up place. Nothing like what the big players on the internet would have you believe.
So long as there exists a way for people to not get prosecuted, these things will exist.
Realistically, the more accessible the internet becomes the more it reflects the behavior of humanity at large.
These things exist because they're part of us. The internet probably makes them more visible, but I doubt it makes them more extant.
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
Most of these are gonna be pedo/lolicon stuff, closely followed by unmoderated hate and spam instances.
"cum.salon" sounds thrilling. I both want it to be exactly what it says it is, but also, something completely different.
What was iddqd? My guess is gore, but not interested to check.
From the site:
IDDQD: Instance For /vr/, /tg/, /g/, etc.
In other words an offshoot of 4chan's gaming-related boards (vg - Retro Gaming, tg - Traditional Gaming, g - Gaming). Unfortunately it's 4chan, so....
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.
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.
Lemmy supports both blacklist and whitelist federation, but the only large instance that uses whitelist federation as far as I know currently is Hexbear.
That would destroy the already limited content of the fedi. It's like people hate content discovery for some reason.
I've never heard of any of these.
Awesome
Huh. I would have bet Lemmygrad would be up there somewehre.
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.
