I'll definitely hang around for a while and see how things go. If the hype dies down after a month or two... don't know then.

Okay, there you go?

Well, yeah, but is that really how instances are going to handle moderation? A single post they don't like in a community on another instance and they just block that entire community from their instance? Seems pretty heavy handed.

Not sure how on mobile, but on the computer you would have to visit a different instance in order to view one of those communities, and of course if you want to actually participate in it, you would have to create a second Lemmy login on that new instance.

I don't want QAnon conspiracies. That's not what I'm even asking here. These subs are general conspiracy theory communities though. Not QAnon junk.

Go look in those communities. There's MAYBE one post I can see you could consider "QAnon" type stuff. The rest are just general conspiracy related posts.

There's maybe one or two posts of a political nature in there, but the vast majority of the posts have nothing to do w/ any of that type stuff and are just general conspiracy-related posts. So it seems pretty heavy-handed for lemmy.world to simply completely block both communities, IMO.

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!

Oh, yes, because the opinions are different than yours, they're automatically vile, filled with hate, and I'm a bigot.

It's sad how closed minded and small people like you are.

How about this... why don't you show me some of these examples of vile, hate-filled bigotry elsewhere that are hiding behind the scary banner of "free speech"? Can you give me a few examples of this vile, hate-filled bigotry you're referring to that is apparently so prevalent?

Apparently they can block specific communities from other instances though, which is what they have done in this case.

It's the beauty, but I can also see how it could end up being a negative. So one instance blocks two other instances you like. So you move to a new instance that doesn't. But then it turns out that new instance blocks two different ones that you also like. Can you imagine how as things grow, and with so much potential for selective blocking like this, it could quickly become quite a maze to simply find a place to browse the ENTIRR community, without having to deal with multiple logins across multiple instances?

 

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...
