I think since blahaj has a lot of LGBT+ people and since right‐wingers has already been blaming the LGBT+ community for pedophilia, they didn't want any more risk of the media start accusing the blahaj instance of endorsing pedophilia, so they had to act pre-emptively and defederate. I don't really think it's anyone's fault, it's just that in today's political climate, any accusation against a group of people, even if it's false, would end up inspiring mobs to target that group of people. I think the admins of blahaj just doesn't want LGBT+ people get be associated with peodophiles and potentially become victims of a witchhunt against LGBT+ people.

That was part of what I felt they’re doing, but to me the community on lemmynsfw also bothered me and I blocked it. There’s definitely something wrong and nefarious about a community who resides in legal territory but relies on an implication. It’s the same as a community of Nazis existing but using dog whistle wording to avoid anyone noticing. I’m not going to say it’s illegal, but I’m also not in support of it and I understand Blahaj doing what they did.
