This is basically going to be a hard ban and nuking constantly... because I will not stand for conspiracy theories, vaccine denial, and all manner of disinformation[1] being actively spread on here. I will not accept legal liability for it as admin of the community. I will not accept the social implications of others thinking this was acceptable.
Further, I won't accept being called a nazi by someone who is peddling vaccine denial and arguing that everyone is accepting govt propaganda.
Everyone has some degree of right to free speech... you can go to x.com and apparently say anything you want there, or set up your own website and say whatever you want on there. I'm not obliged to provide a platform for conspiracy theories and vaccine denial.
This stuff is batshit crazy[2], and it's not welcome on here at all, and does not reflect the community standards.
[1] Clearly with the exception of disinformation about stuck bottom bracket removal, that stuff is more entertaining... Brick Lane Bikes has an angle grinder whenever you're ready.
Nuked the newer lessman account.
