Just curious - I have no interest in giving QAnon conspiracies more oxygen - but on what basis were they banned? Being disastrously misinformed, on its own, does not appear to be against the Code of Conduct (and nor should it be).
Spreading such misinformation without full knowledge of a subject, and hearing all sides of arguments, does violate the policies here I think. And it seems to be working, keeping those hive minded Redditors or Facebook-tier users away.
I can’t see anything in the text that would disallow that other than “mod doesn’t like it” - if so, it’s rather similar to what Reddit’s being accused of in this post. So far my experience is that opinions on this Lemmy federation are even more homogeneous than they are on Reddit - the prevailing view is just different. Again, this post has been a good example. It’s all a little disappointing.
Do you want the prevailing view to be discriminatory, filled with racism hatred and fanboyism, or do you want objectivity without hatred? It becomes that choice.
If objectivity and less /pol/ junk means prevailing view, then I support it.
I pity people who fall for their trap. Most victims often are otherwise intelligent, but only are socially discriminatory or unintelligent. Followers often are not a pure extension of one’s ideology.
I caught a QAnon guy trying to start a group here lol. Luckily we banned him and his community before he dragged anybody else over here.

If that’s the way you see it, fair enough. It’s been a pleasure.
