Basically what I’m getting from the general reddit-wide user response to this is “I support protesting misinformation that had already proved deadly as long as it doesn’t inconvenience me in any way, and that includes where I go to meme and shitpost.”
There isn’t much information on what misinformation they are actually against? They just broad it together with covid misinformation. What misinformation are they referring to specifically?
I also find it immature and not a good way to stop misinformation, it seems like reddit is being bullied on this issue.
I think a corporation being bullied is kinda based.
r/Ivermectin was filled with nonsense until it was brigaded. I think spez also basically allowed misinformation about vaccines as long as it wasn’t too obvious.
Of course there was also misinformation that was supported by many mods on main subs such as the lab leak nonsense being parroted a few months ago
