I was glancing through the mod log and saw these two entries. Conspiracy theory communities were both removed for violating rule #3.

What are these rules? If I look in the side bar, rule #3 on both lemmy.ml and sh.itjust.works to me looks like no porn. So why were conspiracy theory communities not allowed? That seems like kind of a community that shouldn't be an issue on Lemmy... are conspiracy theory subs really something that won't be allowed here? Honestly that's kind of disturbing to see already...

which we should all know have a tendency of coming true the past few years

Sounds like a dogwhistle to me, especially since you provided no further info. Sounds like you need to start your own instance if you want to post BS.

This isn't a community where I feel it's appropriate to get into those kind of topics. You're welcome to PM me if you're actually curious what I'm talking about.

But regardless, I was hoping Lemmy would be a good space for free thought. But it's quickly turning out not to be that way.
