The Epstein case has a lot of evidence supporting a conspiracy, and I certainly think there is more to it than we know. But in recent days I’ve seen upvoted comments about (a) the NYC shooter not actually targeting the NFL despite all reporting suggesting otherwise, and (b) that Russia intentionally caused the Earthquake.

I think given the self-selective nature of a federated social network we already need to be vigilant about preventing any kind of 4chanification. I’m not calling for censorship of any kind, but I do find it raises some beige flags for me about Lemmy…

      Correct, because on this world-wide-web you are free to host it yourself. I will be up in arms with you however if the internet changes and declares that we don’t have the rights to host our own servers.
