You seem very quick to want to censor, and not too concerned with whether the content is malicious or just bullshit. Making baseless positive claims about Russia (for example) is certainly not hate speech. I don't see how it's malicious. I agree there's a good chance it's bullshit. Wanting to censor rather than block what's seen as bullshit to some also carries problems for growing a democratic community.

This thread has conflated a legitimate question of whether our sidebar rules are appropriately worded with do we like the community in question or not.

Perhaps a good focus is on misinformation. Can we define it, do we want to handle it in a certain way on this instance? Perhaps imagining how we'd want to handle a community/user/mod that posts baseless conspiracy theories in general is a good thought experiment
