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.

    Are you sure your definition of disinformation is absolute truth? Maybe someone else comes along with a slightly different definition of disinformation. Which one of you makes the calls?

    Why do you think this should be a global policy regulated by several admins as opposed to something we can each do ourselves?

      No I don’t think I have absolute truth. I’m not the person in charge of this instance, so I don’t have a process for choosing between definitions.

      It should be a global policy because admins are the ones with tools to deal with systemic disinformation campaigns. Also, some people can generally do it for themselves but nobody can always tell when they’re being manipulated.
