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…

    You do realize that conspiracy is far more than qanon stuff, right? It was an interesting sub to read from time to time on Reddit.

    And yeah, I get “just run your own instance”, but not everyone wants to deal with their own instance just to be able to freely browse communities without random censorship. I was hoping Lemmy wouldn’t be that way. Don’t know what it is about some people being so unable to tolerate opposing views from their own…

      You can view those communities hosted on other instances from lemmy quite easily. Nothing stopping you. They just don’t want it on their instance.
