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.
Your mental block will never allow you to understand this but reddit is a right wing pedo shithole.
I was banned as well for commenting too much against the zionists… pedos and zionists are not allowed topics in there… welcome to Lemmy, btw

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.
“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!
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.
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, 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”
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.
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.
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!
It doesn’t, the Mali TLD was free/cheap for a while (no longer)
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.
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.
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”
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.

Does piefed even have working apps yet?

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.

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.
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]
We don’t have pedos
So long as you block all the loli anime.
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
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.
while 18, had very child like designs.
Just because you don’t like it, doesn’t make it wrong. And it is absolutely legal, at least where I live it is.
I constantly reported all posts and comments like that
No wonder you were banned.
So, not only did Reddit moderation side with the pedos
No they were not pedos by any standard if the characters were above 18.
Also the number of left wing people will always seem high to an American on an international forum. Because USA only has 1 right wing and 1 extreme right wing (fascist) party among the parties that matter.
You’re clearly cherry picking OP’s comment there, conveniently leaving out what makes what they saw problematic.
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.
Those terms are specifically used by the pedo “roleplay” portion of the anime fandom, there’s not really any ambiguity there.
Like, on the first sentence, I’d agree with you. But the second sentence makes it clear that they saw the disgusting part of the fandom.
Those terms are specifically used by the pedo “roleplay”
I have no idea about that, but if these characters were above 18, it does not fall under pedophilia. There is absolutely no room for interpretation on that.
One is legal, the other is not.
And…the pedo defenders are here.
You can play that game all you want, a character that looks 5 and you say is 18+ or 200 years old…is still a fucking 5 year old looking character.
The fuck is wrong with you people.
You guys realize that you’re talking about drawings right? Like, marks on a paper or screen?
Even putting sexuality aside it’s like arguing over how old these “characters” are:
One of them is 5 years old, the other is 500.
But over here in reality, it’s all fictional and doesn’t matter because they’re just a drawing.
Yea cause a drawing of a child that someone sexualizes is totally the same of line drawing…got it…
They’re both just drawings. None of it is real. The only difference is the label.
No no they’re not, sounds like you enjoy loli shit as well…
I fucking hate this argument.
If someone used AI to generate a video of Epstein raping a child, would that be acceptable to you? The video isn’t real either.
I hate to do this, but it’s simple: anything that looks like real children is bad and should never be sexualized.
But anime? Come on. That’s not how people look.
So in your mind someone getting off to a scene depicting something like that is totally fine as long as it doesn’t look exactly like a real child? You realize it is meant to represent a human child, right? Is any sort of stylized drawing fine then because it doesn’t look indistinguishable from a real person? There’s hentai explicitly about minors (like, not even high schoolers, but like fucking middle school and younger…) being raped by old dudes.
Shit like this is why there used to be (and still is, although to a lesser degree) such stigmatization of anime.
No, because fuck AI and burning our future on that shit.
But you’re okay with the content of the video being shared publically, in principle, right?
I am absolutely not a pedo defender, there’s a huge difference between being attracted to an 18 year old, who in my and most countries is of legal age, and being a pedo.
The difference apart from being attracted to children, is that at 18 years old, you are considered old enough to make decisions for yourself.
Having sex with a minor on the other hand is automatically rape, as a minor is NOT considered old enough to make decisions for themselves.I am disgusted that you post has an upvote. When the persons are above 18 there is no moral argument to call them pedos.

You literally are saying that it’s ok to be attracted to children just as long as their backstory is they’re over 18… everyone knows that loli shit is fucking pedo shit.
Having sex with a minor on the other hand is automatically rape, as a minor is NOT considered old enough to make decisions for themselves.
Cool. Glad we can agree on that.
I am disgusted that your post has an upvote. When the persons are above 18 there is no moral argument to call people attracted to them pedos.
Except the characters you loli people are into are literally depictions of children, and you justify that shit by saying they’re a 200 year old elf or some shit.
USA however has a weird double standard in that regard, you are of legal age when a8, but cannot dring until 21???
What?
This doesn’t make the slightest bit of sense, you can buy a gun, join the military, but you can’t have a drink?
USA is a pestilence of moronic double standards, and the country is suffering from am enormous degree of moral corruption, mostly originating in the insane level of Christian fanaticism, that is more similar to the middle east Islam, than to developed democracies. Of course similar moral idiocy exist in other countries too, but almost always driven by religiosity.Hey…hey stay with me… we’re talking about you liking or defending those who like depictions of children and saying it’s ok because you said they’re 18+…
There’s a very strong difference between what we think and what we do.
Being attracted to 18 year olds is absolutely legal. So what the fuck is your problem?Because you’re not attracted to 18 year olds, you’re attracted to children and justify it by saying they’re 18. Huge difference.
You are outright insane.
Says the guy who’s suggesting that it’s ok to be attracted to children, because the characters are 200 year old elves… they’re still children.
If you draw a baby wearing an actual diaper and arbitrarily call it a 200 year old immortal vampire, is it fine in your mind to depict it being raped by some random dude? I literally do not understand your thought process. Although, frankly, given the “difference between what we think and what we do” part of your comment, I’m not inclined to look on your thoughts particularly charitably.
They said it was about Lucky Star. That show is literally about a group of high school girls. They’re not adults in the slightest so I’m not even sure why OP said that. None of the characters are 18+.
OK I have no idea what that is? When I google it I get a cartoon…
It’s a slice of life anime about a group of high school girls.
But anime cartoons don’t have actors of any age, so that doesn’t make any sense.
😋
In view of this new information I find it pretty stupid to complain to the moderators, because being fans of that cartoon, they could likely feel the same way as those posters.
I do however absolutely agree that sexualization of children is wrong, and that was not the point I was arguing against. I thought we were talking about something where you could see the actors were 18+.The problem of OP not providing a link to the context.
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.
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?

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.
