      If you’re banned for an opinion, that’s not right. If you’re banned because you’re spreading easily disprovable vaccine misinformation, that’s on you.

        “Missinformation” lol everything on the vaccine has been missinformation until is not… “Virus came from a lab in china” “once you are vaccinated you wont get covid (depends on when you say it if its " missinformation” or not)" etc…

          Not to mention the extreme attacks on those who refused to get the shot, when they knew all along it did nothing to prevent the spread

      Oh, please don’t worry about that, Lemmy’s API will make it easier than Reddit’s to automatically ban plague rats
