hey, I’m the admin of lemdit.com, thought I’d offer you my 2 cents.
Generally speaking anyone is welcome on Lemdit. We’re not a political instance, nor are we a strictly ‘free speech’ one. What this means is any ideas are welcome irrespective of political lean, but slurs, attacks or calls for violence are not. To give you a concrete example, disagreeing with government covid policy is fine, calling people fags is not.
Lemdit is indeed a tiny instance. This isn’t really an issue as far as content and engagement is concerned thanks to federation, but it does mean we’re a very small fish that can be easily killed if we get defederated. We’re not big enough to survive under our own content steam, so if you do join, please try to keep this in mind.
The only instances we’ve defederated are ones that host loli porn. In general, anything that can get us into legal trouble is gone on the spot (I don’t mean the lemmy.world interpretation of legal). Otherwise I don’t live in the US and I make it a point not to get involved in politics one way or the other, so you will not see me defederate or block anything based on politics.
Lemdit is also self-hosted and costs me very little to run, so this isn’t a donations grift, we’re not looking to grow at all costs, etc.

It’s very disappointing. They seem to be testing the waters, for example this guy won’t outright promote pedophilia, instead he’ll make arguments such as:
- teenagers over 14 are fully developed young adults
- it’s bigotry to treat them like children
- it harms and infantilizes teenagers over 14 to treat them like children
- the brain is fully developed by 14, the rest is just a myth
- power imbalances between adults and teens are a myth
- puritans are to blame for the hysteria against age difference in sexual partners
- hysteria around pedophiles today is the same as the witch hunts of the past
- child beauty padgents are just kids playing dress-up and harm nobody
- punishment for adults who have sex with teenagers over 14 is disproportionate for a crime that hurts nobody
…etc. Nothing he says is technically illegal so he’s banking on everyone going along with it on this technicality. At the end of the day, this is a 50+ year old dude with a squeaky voice that is trying to make a case for how he should be able to have sex with 14 year olds. He is (somewhat) indirectly promoting pedophilia and can fuck right off.

You are absolutely not tripping. This guy is a pedophile that spends his time making posts that all eventually feed into the idea that it should be normal and OK for adults to hook up with under-age teenagers. Please report him wherever you see him, I’m happy to share the sleuthing I’ve already done with any instance admin that is having second thoughts.
This is the same person:
- Comment on How much data can I download on umetered connection? 9 months ago:
In practice UPC will probably have some kind of fair use policy buried in its terms of service - your best bet is to go through those terms and see what you find. Fair use typically means they will start throttling you beyond a certain point. Most ISPs keep this reasonably vague (e.g. if your usage is in excess of what they deem to be reasonable, but no actual data amounts defined).
Not all ISPs have a fair use policy though, and typically you’re better off on large ISPs where your usage doesn’t really stand out that much.
