[discussion] removal of conspiracy theories

I like conspiracy theories, there are some very original and fun ideas, I treat it more like fiction and what if's. I don't think it's an issue of content as long as it followed what looked like pretty clean rules.

Honestly I'll take it over the community if nobody wants it. I could fill that community with some mostly harmless shizo content.

In general, is there value in having a garage collection policy for abandoned communities? For example, any community without a mod for 30 days gets removed.

In this specific case I wish someone would take it over and turn it into a conspiracy satire community like r/topminds.

Report the ones that break the rules, like the Matt Walsh vid, otherwise it's a dead abandoned community, let them keep the post directing people elsewhere. I'm guessing the few people who were there fucked around and found out by getting banned. Seems like the moderation rules worked and took out the trash.

I see that this community's posts are all downvoted. Doesn't it shows our stance regarding that type of content?

And since it's a dead community, keeping it up will probably make conspiracy theorist go to another instance instead pf creating a new one. After all, who really post on communities which no one goes to or blocks?

I opened the link to see one thing. Last post time to now. The last post was 12 DAYS ago.

• if someone cannot understand this is no longer active then I'm sorry
• if this was active and people associate a single community with the output of an entire instance then I don't think the fediverse will survive. Your instance surviving isn't the fediverse, it's your echo chamber. We need all instances that aren't blatantly un-human. We cannot get in the habit of wanting to remove a community just because we disagree. Go post there. Take over the community if abandoned. Give.

I would have not known about this community if not for you.

100% sarcasm past this

So you made an alt account to draw notice that your community is not being shunned so you can get it shunned so you can show the conspiracy in this instance as it relates to communities and gather followers in another conspiracy community.
