lemmy.world engages in its own form of censorship when it wholesale bans other instances and its members actively downvote posts pejorative of biden and gaza; this seems like it’s getting off on bad footing.

It’s a good idea but I who will decide what is misinformation or not? And about bots… I think the web is doomed. Ai will make sure everything is just bot content in the end.
