As long as the discussions are civil and presented facts not obviously wrong, I do not see a problem.
This contradicts itself, if something is a fact then it is not a conspiracy theory.
I highly disagree here, I see a lot of problems spreading shit like 5G causes Covid and such discussions, they confuse others, they have no value at all and they are beyond anything.

This is no contradiction. The thing is often not all facts are available and there is a lot of room for interpretation. For example, looking back at history: The tobacco industry claims nicotine is not addictive. Facts: At the time not entirely clear to the public. Should you be allowed to discuss about the tobacco industry conspiring: Yes, absolutely.
But it seems the meaning for conspiracy theory has shifted to theories only crackpots come up with and stuff that generally is not true. The original meaning of the two words taken separately still makes a lot of sense to me. Also how would you call a theory about a conspiracy that is actually likely to be true?

Now drop the topic, this thread here is not about conspiracy people and I am not here to explain you what it is, check Wikipedia.

You were posting links to suspicious US government sites until recently... And you're a creator of the Brave community, which is a privacy fiasco. Is that conspiracy too?
