Last time I checked, Bluesky seems to be a self haven for those who openly declare themselves as 'MAPS', which even a NSFW option shouldn't allow.

Wikipedia had that problem for a while too, to the point where some of the pedophiles were Wikipedia admins, and were softening the language in pages discussing pedophiles and pedophilia.

Do I want to know what that means?

Pedophiles. They call themselves Minor Attracted Persons to try to square their pedophilia in their own heads.

Legitimately the only time I've ever seen that term is from people on the right trying to frame trans people as pedophiles.
And attempts to find accounts on the service that actually claim to be one themselves generally are left with a bunch of accounts with a name roughly in the form of `<name><bunchofnumbers>.bsky.social` and like one or two inflammatory posts/replies shortly after creation and no activity otherwise.

I'm left wing and I've certainly seen the term 'MAP' being used by the left more than the right.
That said, last time I logged into Bluesky was ~6 months ago.
