There's a new one suddenly popping up in my feed but obviously the reports are being "resolved" by the mods of that community. They suggested to me that I block their community but I will not because that is how you get a cesspit of an instance. How do we report disinformation communities straight to the admins?

Edit: the admins did remove the community in question so I'm going to take that as the official stance on disinformation communities and also assume that any type of community (right wing, left wing, or other) that are intentionally spreading disinformation will be removed. That makes me feel much better about the situation since this type of thing is pretty much guaranteed to pop up again.

I like seeing misinformation

Holy shitballs man, this is really who you want to be?

You trying to have a conversation or are you trying to insult me?

It’s the same concept of destroying history or literature. The bad parts of history are just as valuable as the good parts of history. Destroying the bad destroys our ability to see the full picture and learn from it.

I get where the comment is coming from. I followed Qanon drops even though I know it's batshit crazy and completely untrue. I just want to know exactly what the conspiracy theorists and right wing chuds believe in. It's a "know your enemy" situation, but it also helps me to determine who to avoid and how to deal with crazy people.
