Why do you allow misinformation communities like endlesswar? (quokk.au)

Seems to be purely to post misinformation with repeated claims that Russia is innocent and the US caused the Ukraine situation, that they're stopping Ukraine from agreeing to Russia's super amazing peacedeals, etc.

This is the sort of garbage one would expect to find on ML or Hex, is CA intended to be the same low quality instance?

So you suggest never trying to do anything, because you can’t be sure it will 100% be gone forever?

Think of it like a weed, when you see one you pull it out and move on with your day. Gardens require constant tending to.

I'm not suggesting that. I'm suggesting that we're already doing something and it seems effective. It seems to me the democratic process we have is already pulling the weed out.

I won't be mad if the admins delete that community, but it seems we're already controlling how far it gets. If I saw high upvote rates which makes the misinfo spread wide, then I'd say we're not doing a good enough job through the standard process and perhaps an additional action is needed.
