Oh just seeing now this was a reply to a thread... catching up...
I cant speak much to pedos on the fediverse. I havent had much involvement in those circles obviously. But if your telling me there is a problem with pedos praying on minors on the fedi then that is very concerning indeed.
I'd urge you if you saw any predidation on minors on the fedi to please anonymously call them out (or not anonymously) so me and others can be aware. I'd also suggest police involvement if it is really at that point (im not one to resort to police usually but pedophilia is a concerning line).
Its a tricky subject matter legally sometimes and perhaps morally. There are instances that basically act as support groups for MAPs where rape or sexual interaction with minors is strictly forbidden. Then there are instances where pedophilia is encouraged and acted upon. Its important to recognize these are very different things.
long and short of it. if youve ever seen a post or anything to suggest that an instance supports sexual interaction minors, then yes, the FBI should be shutting them down. and we should all be appalled. If on the other hand it is more of a support group for MAPs where such activity is strictly against the rules then there isnt much the FBI can do, and in those case its questionable how we as individuals should respond as well.
I don't think it's a good idea to anonymously called them out, because the pedos would secretly get away with it. And I have seen a suscpiously large rise of pedo instances making themselves a pedo community, which is dangerous. So I think that the FBI should be taking down those instances because as you know pedophiles don't deserve a voice because they psychologically destroyed our societal morality.
