I found that the members of r/luckystar were saying very sexual things about characters that, while 18, had very child like designs. And even if, they were saying shit like, “Cunny!” and, “Correction!” so, yeah.
I constantly reported all posts and comments like that I came across and eventually made a post asking why they were saying things like that. I wasn’t hostile, and was in fact, rather calm about the situation. Meanwhile, they were all extremely rude and hostile towards my post, calling me names and such, and about 20 minutes later, my account was shadowbanned.
So, not only did Reddit moderation side with the pedos, they didn’t even have the decency to tell me what I did wrong. Assuming how it all happened so suddenly, I’m just gonna assume the pedos all mass-reported my account for God knows what. Any and all appeals I’ve mad since then received no response.
I still stuck around for a few months after that, [that whole deal happened back in May of 2025.] but the extreme leftist political dooming invading every corner of the website I used made it absolutely miserable to use.
Tonight, I finally put my foot down and said, “I quit!” I discovered this website and made an account here. I guess you can use this post to welcome me to the Fediverse.
the extreme leftist political dooming invading every corner of the website I used made it absolutely miserable to use.
…So you came here? 🤨
Ah yes, the Fediverse the bastion for check notes anarchists, socialists, communists, and other leftists. With three instances being known as the Tankie Triad. The major conservative communities are for leftists to make fun of conservatives.
Yup, no extreme left political thinking here.
Grad, ML, what’s the third one?
Hexbear
Pedophiles run the world
No only the USA.
You’re kidding right? You haven’t noticed European leaders bending the knee to Israel?
Erm no they don’t, and even if they did, I don’t see how that automatically makes them pedophiles?
But we have seen a lot of evidence that pedophilia is widespread among the American elite.Adorably naive
So this week Slovakia’s national security advisor resigned and so did Lord Mandelson from the Labour Party in the UK. Both happened shortly after the latest file release because they are indeed very much in the files.
Also as a European we are so very much financing Israel’s genocide. Not sure what sources you are using that say we aren’t. Type in any EU country in any search engine of your choice. Add in “money Israel” or “weapons Israel”. Sure plenty of countries are also condemning Israel’s actions while also simultaneously paying for those actions.
Sure. But over here they had to resign in disgrace. Over in the good ol’ US of A, they stay in charge and get to shit themselves on camera too.
Yep and that sucks. A lot of people have been working very long to fill the top ranks in the US exclusively with people who are at the very least on board with this kind of behaviour or willing to go along with just about anything blindly, most of which were replaced very recently.
In Europe we seemingly still have enough people left that we’re not compromised. At least enough that they don’t dare to give people a free-pass publicly yet. We’ll see if anyone actually gets punished though or if it’s just for show.
A few in Europe, and a lot in USA, and the whole thing being an American operation, there’s a pretty significant difference.
Sure there were Americans involved, but it was arguably a worldwide operation. Plenty of ties to the UK, EU, Russia, Israel and various middle eastern countries. I’m happy to talk crap about the US (amongst other countries) but I prefer to stick to facts when doing so.
True, but not the people that actually rule the UK or EU, only for USA does this spread right to the very top of those that actually rule. And it also spreads way more widely among the top in USA.
Welcome! We don’t have pedos, but we do have our fair share of extremist leftists. I’d advice against visiting communities on the hexbear and lemmygrad instances if you are not pro-communism/russia/china.
Furthermore you might want to read up on the idea of “instances” and what makes the fediverse different from lemmy. It helps explain how communities work here, but you can also just figure it out on the go.
The lemmy.ml instance, for example, is the OG instance. It has a few far-left communities and users, but plenty of a-political communities and user as well.
My isntance, sh.itjust.works, is a general-purpose instance based in Canada.
You’re on PieFed, which is different from Lemmy for some reason haha.
This really is the beauty of the fediverse: every instance has it’s own character, and even if we don’t agree on specific stances, we are still connected and it reduces the bubble effect massively. I believe this open discourse and the not-politial-motivated algorithm are the best way to reduce extremism, and if you don’t want to engage with a group you can filter it. @[email protected] - if you find an instance which fits your believes better, don’t hesitate to switch, you can export and import your subscribed communities easily. Welcome!
We don’t have pedos
So long as you block all the loli anime.
Gods, yeah. There’s a lot of creepy shit floating around if you don’t have the NSFW filter on.
I don’t think it’s fair to say that we’re better than Reddit because the user base is better (we definitely have some amazing people though). Lemmy is better than Reddit because it’s decentralised and not under the thumb of a big corporation.
I’m glad nobody on this instance subscribes to that kind of content.
It’s all that Moe guy.
Moe Lester?
You’d think with a name like that they’d have caught him by now

It does, but it is also a general-purpose isntance. It was long the default landing page on join-lemmy.org, but that is no longer the case. That’s why there are a lot of people on there who aren’t lenninist-marxist. It is still one of the biggest instances.
It doesn’t, the Mali TLD was free/cheap for a while (no longer)
As far as I can tell, Piefed exists because some people didn’t like that the lemmy devs are communists.
I haven’t looked into piefed, I’m exclusively going off what pro-piefed/anti-lemmy users have said.
deleted by creator
Does piefed even have working apps yet?
deleted by creator
Blorp dev here. Linking the GitHub page if you wanna see all the ways you can download Blorp https://github.com/Blorp-Labs/blorp
Isn’t the UI very similar or am I missing something? I didn’t see any major differences when initially comparing them except PieFed having some more features like reactions and cross post comment loading (which I don’t think is a thing in Lemmy?). I have mostly used PieFed since then though.

They’re not commies, they’re tankies.
Tankies are far removed from communism, they don’t care for communist ideals or communist values, they only care for authoritarianism.
Ok, guess I’ll go tell everyone part of an Actually Existing Socialist project to give up and shut it all down because some guy on the internet told me they’re actually authoritarian.
Open source doesn’t equal socialist lol
Otherwise, you’d have to argue that OpenAI is part-socialist since they have open source releases.
Actual Existing Socialism refers to countries that are working towards communism; socialist projects. Today that’s China, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos, DPRK, some may argue Venezuela, Bolivia, and others.
Ah, okay.
Now, I’m curious. What is socialism to you?
When the working class holds state power, a transitionary period as they build the conditions for communism.
That’s not right. If anything, the problem would be that they support aggressive authoritarian regimes or that they’re more anti-west than communist.
You confuse not supporting America’s hostile actions against foreign countries with supporting the actions by those governments.
The alternative stance, supporting hostile action against, China, Cuba, Iran, Russia, Venezuela, etc because they’re “authoritarian” is not materially different from the most blood thirsty ghoul who supports hostility because they believe they are inferior people whose labor and resources should be subjugated by the west.
Presumably you’re a liberal who understands Iraq and Libya are not a better places today because we “liberated” them from their authoritarian regime, and maybe you see through zionists who argue in bad faith that we can’t support Palestine because the struggle for LGBT+ rights hasn’t advanced as much, but maybe you’ve noticed a pattern that 1. being subjected to western media and education, you get a wildly distorted perspective of places America intends hostile action, and 2. Supporting hostile action against “the regime” from the west just means hostile action against those people. An Iranian might protest and organize to advance their struggle, the US starving and/or bombing them does not help them.
Are you saying the Lemmy devs don’t openly support aggressive, authoritarian regimes, like Russia?
other than the main one , are the other ones “far left”
You could just peruse their history.
Still waiting on that answer…
Not doing this, go justify imperialism somewhere else.
Just so we’re clear, you’re outright lying.
I can show you Desellines explicitly supporting Russia against Ukraine.
So the real question is why are you lying?
I can show you Desellines explicitly supporting Russia against Ukraine.
Yes, opposing the US puppet, or more likely, opposing the US prolonging the war and human suffering, because like every other case of the last 75, the US is the greater evil.
The real question is why I bother responding to this bad faith horseshit.
All aggressive authoritarian regimes are bad and we should support none of them. The only reasonable side is against all of them.
You can’t stay still on a moving train. Your opposition to the west’s enemies, from within the west, is literally just supporting imperialism.
I left lemmy because of the nutomic, yogthos, and dessalines. horrible people who have too much influence/control on all things lemmy and will ban/silence you for anything. check out [email protected]
Piefed exists because some people didn’t like that the lemmy devs are communists.
But then they could have used Mbin, which is older than Piefed?
Iirc wasn’t it because python is easier for beginners to learn than rust and php, so it’s easier to get more contributors and thus deliver features faster?
Piefed is way nicer to use than mbin, feature rich.
I’ve used all three mentioned. While I don’t like the lead Lemmy dev, I actually just like Piefed more it’s not just out of principal.
If you’ve got a problem with pedos, you might wonna step away from PieFed. Doesn’t seem like you can criticize Epstein or the child sex traffickers of Israel over there.
wat
Go ahead and try. Not Israel, not Epstein, not even allowed to talk about the Hannibal Directive.
Are you talking about a particular instance or are you alleging that the entire platform is censoring everything about that?
PieFed
“extreme left”
Were they against shit like street executions? Were they in support of shit like free school lunch?
Oh man I hate the extreme left!
Well yeah, spez doesn’t allow any criticism of Elon Musk. Of course they’ll have to allow any other /s
spez wants to emulate/in love with musk thats why
I mean, this place is quite a bit further left than Reddit. A lot of leftist stuff on Reddit started getting banned after Elon got his fee-fees hurt over people mocking DOGE.
And, it’s kinda weird that the last straw was the anti-fascism rather than the creeps.
elon is the one initiating the 2 massive purges on reddit, because he complained to his parasocial fan SPEZ twice.
What utter bullshit
Um I found a bunch of child molesters, reported them but got banned
But like I stuck around for months after and only left coz the socialist were telling me that the fascists I believe in are destroying the country, the rule of law and its institutions
/s
So the child fucking molesters weren’t enough to make you leave but leftist were.
Fuck you
Lol, I’d like to see what they refer to as “extreme leftist political dooming” since it’s probable that Lemmy has a relatively higher amount of material that would fit the bill.
Nervous glance at the towering pile of doom
Hmm? Oh, yes.
I mean, fuck reddit, but a character that is 18 years old is objectively not a child, nor would sexualizing them be pedopholia.
Also lol, this place is far more left than reddit.
I don’t know the specifics, but it wouldn’t be the first time artists say one thing for legal reasons but draw kids in sexual situations. “She’s actually 2000 years old according to this backstory I made up, so it’s OK”
Yeah, I was thinking it was one of those situations.
No, making a justification as to why an adult looks like a child does not make the situation less pedo-coded.
I’ve seen lucky star (like 15 years ago), there’s no sex that I can remember being referenced.
It was just girls slice of life.
Well, it’s Reddit doing Reddit things, as always.
Fuck u/spez.
The reddit CEO is probably in the Epstein files too
Help me understand: was this a subreddit you participated in for months or longer, before encountering a wave of objectifying comments? Or is it more like, you were a newb to the sub when you started pestering mods about a tone that was already established as normalized there?
Reddit Mods who shadowban are the most gutless softcocks in the world.

If you’re the type to needlessly argue the difference, you’re putting a very distinct hat on that says “I am emotionally invested in people’s perception of child abusers” and I say child abusers as a catch-all for those who are in any way attracted to kids. Because pedos and child rapists are in the same group whether they touch kids or not.
It’s similar, in my mind at least, to trying to separate the original WW2 nazis from modern day nazis by saying “The modern ones aren’t gassing minorities and invading poland so you HAVE to clarify which one’s you’re talking about.” As if they weren’t all part of the same group.
In terms of what I’m actually trying to get across; be very wary of who you defend when trying to police speech, especially on the internet.
I understand nuance is a thing but even I had to stop myself from assuming you’re the same as the “ackshually its ephebophilia so they’re not a pedo” crowd
Pedantic but technically true. However language is fluid and context influences the decoding of meaning.
