Sounds like the admins removed that community, so I guess this instance is just another one of the millions 😄 Best of luck to you in your search for a new instance!
Comment on Does this instance have a stance on right wing disinformation communities?

God I fucking hope not. There are plenty of other servers that take this stance that you can sign up on. Don’t try to change this instance when there’s a million out there that already do what you’re looking for

From the very brief statement admins made about the removal, it sounds like those users might have been creating multiple accounts and manipulating the platform more than once. I never saw any comments from admins on their stance towards right wing disinformation communities.

Allows federating with them, not allowing it to be posted on their server.

You…you want to be on a server that allows the intentional dissemination of harmful disinformation? There are lots of instances that allow that for you to sign up on.

Yes, and that’s why I signed up for it. Feel free to not join lol.

This is the logical stance. If I wanted random busybodies deciding what I see because they think they’re the only ones wise enough to discern truth from lies, I’d join Facebook.

Remember, this is a global general-purpose instance with a wide variety of backgrounds and worldviews.
With that in mind, I think I should have the choice to see information if I want to—even if someone else determines that it is incorrect, right?
From my perspective, you can learn extremely valuable things from the corrupt (the horrific history of my country for example) just as much as the good. Removing information like this effectively removes my ability to see the full picture. By definition, this is censorship. It is removing content based on someone’s opinion of the content itself.
If your going to tell me that your definition of disinformation is 100% truth, I’d love to hear how you got to that conclusion.
