Does this instance have a stance on right wing disinformation communities? (lemm.ee)

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.

You...you want to be on a server that allows the intentional dissemination of harmful disinformation? There are lots of instances that allow that for you to sign up on.

Yes, and that's why I signed up for it. Feel free to not join lol. I don't want to defederate from anyone (except illegal instances), so I want access even to the porn ones. Most ban these so I don't want them to decide what I see.

Remember, this is a global general-purpose instance with a wide variety of backgrounds and worldviews.

With that in mind, I think I should have the choice to see information if I want to—even if someone else determines that it is incorrect, right?

From my perspective, you can learn extremely valuable things from the corrupt (the horrific history of my country for example) just as much as the good. Removing information like this effectively removes my ability to see the full picture. By definition, this is censorship. It is removing content based on someone’s opinion of the content itself.

If your going to tell me that your definition of disinformation is 100% truth, I’d love to hear how you got to that conclusion.
