Communities that promote misleading information and conspiracy theories should be not allowed.

PS I propose to add this rule to lemmy.ml rules

Yhe purpose of rules and moderation is that everyone behaves well, eithoit personal insults etc. Not to decide what is true or false (thats what discussions are for).

If its really misinformation like you say, it should be no problem to debunk it with actual arguments. And if you dont like the community, you can personally block it.

you just opened a conspiratorial box of Pandora on lemmy.ml

What I'm talking about is just to come up with a position and indicate it in rules.

And you want to ban people just because they have a different opinion. To me that sounds much more dangerous.

It isn't "opinion" whether vaccines/masks work or not.
