    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?

        I’d say defining disinformation and discussing how we decide something is disinformation are some great step towards finding a solution

        I think disinformation is an opinion specifically towards the content or subject of a post or community. I don’t think we shouldn’t be removing users based solely on someone’s opinion of their content. If you’re suggesting removing users from this instance that share disinformation, I’d love to know how you conclude something is disinformation
