Either I'm missing something you're talking about or you've confused two or three things that I was talking about with Pawoo.
I don't know why you're talking about Pawoo;
anime.website absolutely was people that lived on that instance and were happy with that instance, not doing an attack, but Opal declared it open season and the guy that posted semi-nude kids started posting hardcore CP. Separate thing, Opal participated in CP raids; that wasn't on fedi (as far as I know).
Whether or not there are pedos hiding out on Pawoo (there are, but there are about a million people on there anyway:
https://fedilist.com/instance/pawoo.net ), there absolutely have been attacks from outside Pawoo using Pawoo. There have been plenty of attempts, the biggest one being the guy with the CP avatars that spammed other instances. Details are in the MRF that I wrote to get rid of it:
https://git.freespeechextremist.com/gitweb/?p=fse;a=blob;f=lib/site/mrf/stop_trying_to_kill_pawoo.ex;h=51ff656a85dfe497cd21772a2631e3ba85ca9d2f;hb=HEAD .

(Bonus Gleason joke at the end, so you may be able to guess when it was written.)
The MRF in question just ignored Like activities from Pawoo users that had no public posts. The attack was pretty clever: he put CP in his avatar and then spammed Like activities, and no one on the server noticed it because Likes don't show up on the timeline, but people on other servers saw CP-spam from Pawoo. A lot of people blocked Pawoo as a result of that and FSE never had to.
Hmm I wonder this would work:
>make a fake pedo instance
>follow common traits of other "pediverse" instances
>in backend log ALL ips and dms
>shut down instance stating some government told you to
>report all information to authorities
