I was commenting on a Japanese sub to guide them to Lemmy and my comment becomes “[ Removed by Reddit ]” after a few seconds. Was this always the case?

    I wosh we had an alternative site together, so as to avoid newcomers immediately seeing a) lemmygrad and b) that one NSFW instance that bills itself as “shota/loli/cub friendly”. That turns people away, understandably, especially because it’s not clear from the outset how easy you can avoid interacting with those instances at all, or that the rules and culture between instances can be totally different.

      Downfall to the fediverse: You know what your friends see when they look into this stuff? Oh, wow, they use that site that has the pedos on it.

      It’s a serious issue. Most people don’t and won’t understand the decentralized thing. When these come to light in the media, and stuff like this ALWAYS comes to light in the media, someone is gonna say at some point “Hey didn’t pigeon suggest that site to me once?”
