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’re forgetting the most important rule of the internet, enacted in 2020 and largely unspoken, but widely followed:
No controversial thought. Everything must abide by the hivemind. Sure, the hivemind might extol the virtues of free thought and expression, but actions speak louder than words.
Thanks to the massive worldwide propaganda campaign of 2020, very few corners of the internet are safe from virtue-signaling, wannabe-woke control freaks who can’t stand the thought of others disagreeing with their force-fed worldviews, because they mistakenly believe that such ideas are “dangerous.” 🙄
The opposite woke is asleep. The opposite of virtue-signaling is vice-signalling.
And we have moderation for a reason, lest the instances become Nazi bars
Can you poor me fuckers not stay on reddit? The world isn’t conspiring against, we all independently came to the conclusion you’re a loser.
That’s where they should absolutely stay. Spez and reddit love that garbage.
The world is round. It’s not a CCP agenda because they’re too fucking stupid to understand GPS or VHF radio horizons or even god damned shadows.
Sure is looking that way already. I had such high hopes for Lemmy being a more open community…but that’s already quickly turning out to not be the case.
If you want to be taken serious in clown shoes, seek out the circus instead of the pub.
Take your “controversial thought” back to reddit or start your own instance. You clearly don’t want to be here.
Well, good to see the people who can’t possibly read opposing opinions to their own have made it here from reddit.
Yup. Bye. Fuck off with your “opposing viewpoints,” which, I suspect, is just a list of dog whistles and thinly veiled bigotry.
Yes, I know, opposing viewpoints are something small little minds like your own can’t possibly tolerate. Now run back to your safe space where everyone agrees with you and gives you constant validation!
Not everything needs some dickheads viewpoint. Facts are not subjective
Presumably you could find an instance that allows conspiracy theories, or get together and start one dedicated to that. The subs may not be federated, idk how that works exactly.
What are you evening going on about? No one has stopped you from have a controversial thought. However, for some reason you think you should be shielded from defending your controversial thoughts. You can say and believe whatever you want but you can’t play the victim when people call you out for being the piece of shit you are. Keep on doing your thing but the rest of us aren’t going to be tolerant of your shit views.
