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.

    constant reporting can apparently result in a ban, because “you reported too much” or whatever reason. reddit allows alot more bots to astroturf the site than usual. reddits far-left community is quite small compared to here. its more or lest center right beliefs.

    reporting seems to be a extremely futile exercise on reddit, because only gets you banned in the end anyways.

      You’d be correct. When freaks like that see minor characters, they start saying shit like, “UOHUH CUNNY 😭💢” and, “BRAT NEEDS CORRECTION! 😭💢”.

      Now, to explain, “Cunny”, [sometimes referred to as Cute and Funny to trick the censors and other people.] is a slang term they made for a minor female character’s private parts. As for “Correction”, they mean a bratty little girl needing, “correction.” and by that, they mean… well, yeah.

      So even IF they were attracted to their personalities, [which I’d understand, after all they are 18 and fictional characters.] They’re basically self-reporting doing shit like that.

      [Typing all that shit out is probably gonna get my account banned, but I just want to inform you.]

    After that I kept making new accounts with various combinations of “spez” and “micro penis” while advertising Piefed everywhere and that pissed someone higher up off big time.

    I’m guessing without context this is an anime.

    There’s a reason anime fandom is to be avoided at all costs now. Oversexualization of women in general AND the pervasive loli/childish “”“adult”“” problem.

            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 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.

    while 18, had very child like designs.

    Just because you don’t like it, doesn’t make it wrong. And it is absolutely legal if they are 18+, 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 reasonable standard if the characters were above 18.

    EDIT PS:
    If this was really about pedophilia, the correct place to report it is the authorities, and not to some moderators so they can hide the evidence.
    The fact that this NEVER happened, shows that OP knows he was just pearl clutching, and didn’t actually have a case.

        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.

        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.
        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 your post has an upvote. When the persons are above 18 there is no moral argument to call people attracted to them pedos.

        USA however has a weird double standard in that regard, you are of legal age when 18, but cannot drink until 21???

        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.

          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.

      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.

    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.

          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 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.

      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.

      oh my god i actually thought lemmy.ml stood for lemmy marxist-leninist this whole time.

        it is now, it was general for tech people. but its mostly ultra-left propaganda vomit. if you look at how they comment is extremely uncanny if not similar to how right wingers comment. i also notice they are trying to takeover political memes community too.

        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.

      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!

    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.
