This is what the rules of that instance say:

• No illegal content under Netherlands law
• No content involving junior idols, child models, or anyone under the age of 18 in revealing clothing, questionable poses, or questionable situations

I also dont see any pedophelia on the frontpage. If you do, try contacting the admin to remove it. Of course you are free to block it from your own instance, but its a really flimsy reason to delist it from joinlemmy.

I don't think it's true that such things are illegal in the US at least, but yes, this one should be delisted.

If I recall correctly, as long as you can tell it's not real it's legal. But it's still gross. It'll be the first server that my instance is defederating.

Loli is legally considered as paedophilia in europe and the US

It isn't though. Legally there's nothing to be done about it. Defederation and blocking it from the main list is certainly advisable, though.

This just came up on my feed and i blocked the community, lemmy instances should defederate from them

On Mastodon this kind of heads up are called #FediBlock and it's useful to decide to block problematic instances together

It is also blocked on feddit.de

good catch! Maybe we have enough content for a community around lemmy moderation? FediBlock like, something like that.

Yeah wow that was way further up the list than I thought

A bit of social media history on this topic. Since Reddit is the big topic this month much like Twitter was 6 months ago...

10+ years ago, Reddit was a place that had communities like that for years. CNN story from 2012: https://www.cnn.com/2012/10/18/us/internet-troll-apology/index.html

Back then, 800,000 subscribers to community/subreddit, those were big numbers. It was part of what made Reddit what it is today, starting out with communities that Facebook wouldn't allow. The owners of Reddit even gave that guy an award: Reddit gave him an award – a gold-plated bobblehead doll “for making significant contributions to the site.”

What seemed to shut it down more than anything was loss of anonymous usernames (the guy who created the subreddits got fired from his job). Today in 2023, it would probably be more like governments (hard to say, as the CNN story doesn't say they found evidence of illegal images)?

TIL ... lolicon, shotacon.
