I was glancing through the mod log and saw these two entries. Conspiracy theory communities were both removed for violating rule #3.

What are these rules? If I look in the side bar, rule #3 on both lemmy.ml and sh.itjust.works to me looks like no porn. So why were conspiracy theory communities not allowed? That seems like kind of a community that shouldn’t be an issue on Lemmy… are conspiracy theory subs really something that won’t be allowed here? Honestly that’s kind of disturbing to see already…

    Is it possible that the posts made on that specific community were specific to Qanon? As in, a conspiracy theory community wouldn’t be blocked just for being a conspiracy theory community. But if the community was flooded with Qanon specific posts, they might remove it because that’s specifically against rule #3.

    I’m in no way arguing for or against this, but wondering if that’s closer to the logic they followed. I would love a good old fashioned conspiracy community, but they do have a tendency to pull in a lot of crazies. Do we know what the posts are like?
