  Yes, I think it matters greatly when making decisions to completely remove or silence other people. What’s your process for determining if something is disinformation?

      Removing or silencing people as in removing users or communities from lemm.ee if their content is determined as disinformation.

      And I don’t think communities or users with strong opinions should be removed or banned from a general purpose community. I think vote manipulation, brigading, repetitive automated posting, multiple accounts, and other ways of manipulating the system should be prohibited.

      So, how do you personally determine that something is disinformation, and how to you distinguish this from your own opinion? I’m genuinely trying to understand your perspective here

        I don’t have a personal stake here. I’m just trying to understand the different solution possibilities to this known existing issue, be it at a global or a platform level. Or is the idea to do nothing and let the adverse effects happen?
