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…

    Lemmy.world (where OP’s account is) has a rule 3 stating:

    No posts or comments supporting or promoting QAnon related content or similarly disproven conspiracy theories. Moderators have sole discretion to decide if a post violates this rule. Birds are real. The Earth is round. Get over it.

    See https://mastodon.world/about (both world servers are maintained by the same admin team, and lemmy.world links to that page for its rules).
