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.

    I spoke too soon in my other comment. It’s here. !poltics@lemm.ee (eye roll). That looks like it was just created so if the admins don’t squash it now it’ll take over the entire instance.

      Are you saying you’re concerned that a small politics community that has one downvoted post of an article is going to take over this instance?

        This type of community in general. When they are not dealt with it attracts the type of user who causes problems associated with that type of community and they tend to proliferate.
