Not sure how to report entire communities, but https://lemm.ee/c/vaccines just opened up and it's a troll forum for vaccine misinformation.

For real. I just had the misfortune of looking at that cesspit for about 45 seconds and I feel like I need a shower.

There is nothing if value there whatsoever.

Thankfully it appears to have been removed. I was ready to pack up and move to another instance if the admins indicated that they were ok with having that hosted here. It would be all downhill for this instance if they allowed it.

That community was horrific and I’m really glad it was dealt with, but this raises some big-picture moderation questions that will need to be answered moving forward. For example: What is the difference between sharing an extreme opinion v.s. sharing misinformation/disinformation on lemm.ee? Unless admins make an executive decision in the meantime, I think it would be useful to have a productive discussion on criteria for content like this because there will hands down be more situations like this down the road.
