@[email protected] why was @[email protected] site wide banned for posting generic vaccine news articles then? You said there was no anti vaccine policy at Lemmy. Look at that account it broke no rules. If people get banned for following the rules admins make why should anyone trust this platform?

I guess there is a difference between accepting discussions around a subject with people you disagree with, and accepting someone creating an account specifically designed and named with only one goal : bad faith and low effort posts (yes this is what such a username clearly seems to announce to me).

I spend much time having great discussions with people both online and afk about vaccines, people who are both pro or anti, and it is sincerely interesting. But seeing such a username is as stupid as seeing someone named "vaccineguaranteeyoursurvival". Those username are themselves clearly false statement that are meant to create unusefull discussions.

Hope this ban isn't getting canceled.
