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? 🤨
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
While there’s certainly a lack of content (and by extension diverse voices) compared to Reddit here, there’s definitely less corporate manipulation. It’s a nice pallet cleanser of that gross astroturfing fiefdom.
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 makes them pedo?
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 you 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.
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 America (amongst other countries) but I prefer to stick to facts when doing so.
But not the people that actually rule the UK or EU, only for USA does this spread right to the top of those that actually rule.

I always say this to people who have left Reddit for some reason and land on Lemmy:
Brother, you left New York and landed in New Jersey. It’s the same doom here, if not worse. We are reddit’s Alaska, made up of weirdos, outcasts, and Linux-philliacs.
Welcome, but don’t get too excited.
I was gonna mention that line in my own comment, but I’m glad someone else mentioned it.
This place is literally the exact opposite of reddit in that regard. We welcome the overwhelming leftist political dooming. It grounds us in reality.
This isn’t like reddit at all! Not even a bit! Here the up votes are blue!
Mine are red, so fuck you!
No it isn’t. Everyone can have their own prefered expreience, unlike over on reddit, where you must do as corporate demands.
Bend over for Lord Spez, like a good boy!
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.
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’m glad nobody on this instance subscribes to that kind of content.
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.
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 !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works
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.
Piefed’s UI blows ass is the main problem I have.
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.
I, personally, think it’s very different. You may like it, and that’s totally cool. But like you said, I have used mostly Lemmy and I’m probably being pedantic.
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.
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. @soggysandwich@piefed.social - 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.
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.
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.
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 all 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?
Like, 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…
I am absolutely not a pedo defender, there’s a huge difference between being attracted to an 18 year old, who in my country 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 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 also called being of legal age.
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 we 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.
Congratulations on getting away from that hellscape. My experience on corporate social media sites is you easily get banned for criticizing awful viewpoints but as long as you stick within certain parameters you can be an awful person with awful views, and mods give zero fucks.
I’ve been banned for calling awful open bigots “bad words”. I reported their bigoted hate speech and crickets. I was permabanned for reposting a widely available photo that embarrasses trump. I even got disturbing death threats from a doctor in Florida for arguing with him about trump. I posted screenshots of him threatening my life on his yelp page for his practice and yelp literally just deleted those screenshots and scolded me for posting them. There’s a doctor out there who fantasizes about murdering strangers and he feels empowered to share those fantasies because Facebook and Yelp proved they’ll protect him if he does.
All these things cause me to find it hilarious when the right wing claims they are censored and banned unfairly. It’s because they literally want to be able to say anything and never see a consequence. In my experience, they’re mostly in that position. But it’s never good enough. They happily create their own safe spaces where nothing short of Nazi viewpoints are tolerated, but they cannot stomach any perceived limit on their speech.
Reddit Mods who shadowban are the most gutless softcocks in the world.
Welcome
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.
