Mod Visigoth_860@lemmy.cafe posted a really creepy and pro-pedophilia post at https://lemmy.cafe/post/11105990
Mod immediately bans the two people that call it out as trolls.
Update: post is locked after two more bans
Holy shit this person seriously is a fucked up individual.
Does lemmy.cafe have any infrastructure for removing dangerous people from their instances?
Can I apply that logic to other hot button issues related to children making decisions about sexuality and their bodies, or would that get me banned?
Yes this dude is fucked up, but a whole lot of you are wild hypocrites who ignore the victimization of children when it’s related to your own pet issues.
Are you comparing trans kids receiving gender affirming care to being able to have sex with adults? Because it certainly sounds like that’s what you are insinuating here. If so that is an incredibly transphobic bad faith comparison.
What do you guys think? Personally the language used here lines up pretty well with the dogwhistles most TERFs use to attack gender affirming care like puberty blockers but I’d love to hear what you have to think.

Another gem from the "woke games’ dude
Age gap sex isn’t harmful
Uhh OK mayyybe?

HELLO FBI? THIS GUY RIGHT HERE.

There’s a sincere argument that turning “Pedo Hunting” into a consumer spectacle has done nothing to deter the act of child sex trafficking and exploitation, but been fantastic for the NextDoor community of busybodies and concern-trolls. The #MeToo movement has flatlined. I don’t see any real efforts to provide financial aid or social assistance to kids targeted for sex work. But lots of local news sites seem obsessed with elevating allegations of sex between kids to the front pages.
Reminds me of the Satanic Panic of the 1980s, wherein 12,000 unsubstantiated cases of Satanic ritual abuse were reported and investigated by prosecutors leaning into the national media trend and looking to make headlines. Right now, we’ve got a flood of Trans-Panic and Gay-Panic news articles that try and conflate kids going through hormone therapy with psycho-leftist parents doing mass grooming.
Doesn’t look like this guy gives a shit about LGBTQ civil rights. But those that do are chronically aware of how simply being queer can get you tossed in the same category as creeps and predators.
Yeah, there have been some cases of “pedo hunters” here; turned out to be a flimsy cover story for violent nazis.
It’s, uh, not a topic suited for thoughtless entertainment.
I also remember hearing somewhere that the show tainted so many cases with bad practices and horrible evidence gathering techniques that they couldn’t get convictions once the proper authorities were involved.
Looks like that community is his own personal soapbox for telling everyone that he wants to fuck 14 year olds. Consider reporting it to the admins of the instance.
Consider reporting it to the admins of the instance.
I’ve done that same thing with a similar sort of instance, and mods banned the community and the moderator from their instance.
Reporting works.

Well, that’s a user tag I didn’t expect to have to make. Gross.
Removed by mod
Good riddance!
Edit: in case you missed it and was curious what it was… it was about 6 or 7 posts all from that same guy over the span of about a year, all of which were long winded rants complaining about “ageism” and concluding that the age of consent should be lowered to 14.
Sex with minors? With an age gap bigger than like 2 years, no. But close in age is fine, like 17 and 18.
20 year olds want 15 year olds
Uh…
Matt Gaetz
Oh. Oh no.
The post was deleted, but I was able to access it exploiting the fact that the deletion didn’t federate with another instance.
Should I repost it here? Serious question, it’s yucky but without the content of the post it’s really hard to say something about it.EDIT: archive link to the post. Discretion is advised.
Anyway. I’ll focus on the claims made by the user, instead of assuming if he is or isn’t a paedophile.
What people like that mod, or Richard Stallman, don’t get, is:
- consent is impaired if one person has power over another
- the age gap gives you power
Beyond that all that talk about desire is a big red herring because attraction is shit inside your head, what matters is what you do.
I won’t comment about remocrats vs. depublicans because I don’t care about USA internal politics.
Dude the mental gymnastics this guy tries to put you through to try and justify trying to make leftists okay with him wanting to fuck 15 year olds is insane. And you can tell he thinks he’s WAY smarter than he actually is.
Yup. The whole thing is a fallacious slop: fallacy of the beard, straw man, begging the question, so goes on. And as a result, he’s defending something that is morally insane.
Those two are not the same:
- a 20yo has sex with a 17yo; no payment is involved
- a 42yo has sex with a 17yo; the 17yo is an escort
and yet he’s trying to make both look like the same.
He’s also trying to posit the idea that the left is losing elections because they won’t embrace pedophilia and that is alienating male voters. Which is an insane take.
or Richard Stallman,
Well, I learned something new and horrible today
Yeah. His opinions about software freedom are fairly solid, but when it comes to children and sexuality, he’d do everyone a favour if he simply shut up.
In his defence, though, I don’t think that he’s a paedophile; I think that he’s just trying to extend his views about individual freedom into sexuality, but he’s too socially clueless to get it right. And then the whole thing blew out of proportion because of both witch hunters and people exploiting it for political opposition.
I’m ok with it just being mostly gone, but the choice is yours.
I’ve archived it. I think that it’s important for transparency.
Sadly I couldn’t find the content of the comments of the two banned users. That modlog calling everyone “troll” strongly hints PTB, though.
Yikes this is not good, this person probably should not be a mod of this community, or any community really. Sticking up for pedophilia is a really bad thing to do and also probably could get the instance in legal trouble. This is way past power tripping in my opinion, it could be a legal issue for the instance.
lemmy.cafe’s admins should probably look into this and possibly kick out this mod, since it could possibly cause them some big issues later if he dos anything like this in the future.

That’s not possible, because it’s their own community and they’re the only poster in it. When this person inevitably gets banned and their community wiped, they’ll just register at another instance and make their own community there and continue. I don’t think that’s worth paying attention to - such behaviour just fundamentally cannot be eliminated without getting rid of the fediverse’s freedom.
Then they’ll get banned from there too, or they’ll get banned on all the big platforms and be effectively making their community irrelevant for everyone not on their instance. The thing is there are a finite number of instances and almost all of them have strict rules against this crap. If you start your own like people suggest, you still have to follow their rules or else they stop federating with you, taking the majority of the userbase with them.
Yah that post is gross. I’d remove it.
There’s your reason why.
The pedo holds the reins.
Block the community, block the user, move on.
Should probably report this stuff to their instance admins. That way it disappears completely, that’s a better solution than pretending things don’t exist, especially when it comes to shit like this where the person is a pedophile.
I’d also suggest letting your local instance admins know about it since once they know they can ban the user with content removal which will wipe out he community on those instances as well.
Yeah, quite aware that’s the mod and thought I said as much. Should I reword it to make it clearer that both the mods I refer to are the same?
I’ve seen someone on lemmy make that very same argument. That person seems quite delusional.
Social Media can agree on two thinga:
- luigi did nothing wrong
- Pedos go into the woodchipper
One caveat to the second one. Child molesters go into the woodchipper. As long as they’re a “nonpracticing” pedo who is going to therapy and knows that their attraction to children is wrong then they’re fine. It is a mental illness after all. But the moment they do anything to a child then straight to a woodchipper, do not pass go, do not collect $200.
Remove all nuance and go with the crowd
We can’t agree on these two things as a society, we will never get universal health IMHO
Free Luigi.
Yikes, that post has a real ick factor! Like a pedo apologist’s essay, and what do you want to bet he’s a horny 20 yo?
The part that really squicked me out was combining the drinking with the underage. Like they need to impair a naive person’s judgement even more to have a chance. No way this guy has any game.
Either I’m banned or they don’t federate with lemm.ee
What was the post about?
Edit who downvotes such a question?
I downvote random posts all the time while scrolling. I like to think I usually catch it but I’m sure I miss a few. Whenever I get random downvotes on innocuous comments I just assume it’s from someone else doing the same.
A paedophile is a person who’s sexually attracted to children before they hit puberty, so they lose interest in them around 10 or 11 years old. That weird (ex-)mod and all of you in here are talking about Ephebophilia, the primary sexual interest in mid-to-late adolescents, generally ages 15 to 19.
(I’m not arguing in favor of any of this!)in the modern vernacular, it’s all pedophilia under a certain age… most scientific terms in common usage are used differently that the original definition…
basically nobody but ephebophiles are going to care about the distinction…
(also it’s the under 18 that’s the problem, so that term doesn’t really cover the meaning)
Everybody who gets banned from anywhere has to face that their personal definition of what happened does not match somebody else’s. I say this from experience.
Translation: This person doesn’t believe the OP and is attempting to insinuate that OP is just whining about being banned. This sentiment reeks of appeal to authority bias/fallacy and isn’t constructive in this community.
Additionally it’s not correct since the moderator of said community has expressed sentiment that advocates, excuses, or otherwise finds acceptable, sexualization of minors, in other words pedophillia. I’m not going to debate this, here’s a snapshot of the post the mod likely panic deleted, it’s disgusting pedophilia apologia.
Translation: this person thinks they have psychic power to read my mind. Truth is my comment was meant to commiserate with OP. As I mentioned, I was saying what I said from my own experience. Anyway there’s a thing called “projection” where people read into something what they would mean if they said that, which is probably what we’re both doing.
