I found a sex ad on... #MODRINTH !? I happen to stumble upon a collection on Modrinth, a #minecraft mod distribution platform. Said collection has a Chinese title and description that roughly translates to "Changsha Prostitute (WeChat: ****, Door-to-door service)" The collection contains only 1 mod, Fabric API, so we can assume the title and description were the entire purpose of its existence. This discovery awakened an observation I had on Modrinth, which is that Modrinth seems to have a higher ratio of Chinese content compared to Curseforge. If you check the modpacks page on Modrinth, you can see 2 modpacks on the 1st page with Chinese title or description. Does the Modrinth team have the people to monitor content in different languages? (Hire me lol)

The crazier thing is how I even found this. I was looking up some other stuff in Chinese (not sex-related I swear), and this was one of the results shown by GOOGLE. WTF Though that may have been caused by my SearXNG search having safe search turned off, but what I looked up was so far away from this. Collections aren't even browsable on Modrinth. The only way for this collection to surface was from a search engine. Maybe this implies Google search assumes every Chinese character are the same??

@NorthWestWind@wetdry.world Spam gets everywhere I guess, guess you can reach @modrinth@floss.social via support@modrinth.com email or... Fediverse, though unsure how active they are in here in terms of checking notifications.
