Not sure how to report entire communities, but https://lemm.ee/c/vaccines just opened up and it’s a troll forum for vaccine misinformation.

    There is absolutely no positive thing about keeping a deliberate disinformation platform alive. They exist to disinform other people, not themselves, and their aim is even more sinister than “just” disinforming about vaccines, because these places serves as fascist pipelines.

      We all have intentions and motives behind what we post, don’t we? And we’re all just repeating what we’ve read or heard from other people, right? Very few of us were actually there in the moments things were done or decided. The rest of us are just repeating what we’ve been told, including me and you. We always have downvotes. We can follow or block communities on an individual level. However, deleting content based on your own perspective is silencing someone else’s voice or opinion and goes against basic human rights.

      It’s the exact same idea as removing history or destroying literature. The bad is just as valuable as the good and we learn from them both. By censoring what you have determined is bad, you are silencing someone’s voice and permanently stealing someone else’s ability to see the full picture.

        That’s very inspiring of you but the instance admin is still the admin and can do whatever he wants because he pays the bills. If the admin says “no banana for scale” then it is.
