Why do you allow misinformation communities like endlesswar? (quokk.au)

!endlesswar@lemmy.ca

Seems to be purely to post misinformation with repeated claims that Russia is innocent and the US caused the Ukraine situation, that they're stopping Ukraine from agreeing to Russia's super amazing peacedeals, etc.

This is the sort of garbage one would expect to find on ML or Hex, is CA intended to be the same low quality instance?

Russian propaganda has an impact on it.

I totally agree.

Deliberately allowing yourself to be a hub to spread it is ridiculous.

I think this argument is our main point of disagreement. In my opinion, censorship is a bad way to address misinformation. It creates parallel groups of thinking, each, from their point of view, growing more confident that they know all.
