Does Lemmy have a stance on anti-vaccine or election denialism? (lemmy.ml)

I've been seeing some concerning trends whereby anti-vaxx posts are defended as "free speech" and a growing number of users with "Trump Won" sentiments.

Is there going to be a stance taken on this? Or are we going to lose this community, like so many others, to propaganda and hatred?

I know, about the leftist correction, I was making a commentary on how liberal it is to allow an Anti-vaxx mandate discussion as if it's not a thinly cloaked excuse to legitimize sharing a substantial amount of vaccine misinformaiton.

I think when we start allowing bad-faith efforts to hide worse things we open the door for all of the same sad excuses that lead to the failings of voat, mewe, gab, and literally everything else that started to get away from that shit, and it just fills on in anyway.
