The sole moderator doesn't even follow their own rules: https://lemmy.ca/post/22741340?scrollToComments=true

I'll just say it - it's a Russian propaganda community. Is there any reason this community needs to exist on Lemmy.ca? Is there a rule against blatant astroturfing / propaganda / misinformation? I don't think the 5 rules in the sidebar are going to be enough to stop an army of trolls:

No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, > or xenophobia. Be respectful. Everyone should feel welcome here. No porn. Use the NSFW tag when needed. No Ads / Spamming. Bot accounts need to be flagged as such in their settings.

Maybe time to get ahead of it?

Yeah I blocked him/ them after the mod insisted that Russia is a "down right democratic nation", and then didn't meaningfully engage with any of my followup/ clarifying questions.

That's not a political view, that's an alternate reality.

I'm actually opposed to banning the community though. I don't want to give him the satisfaction. As you suggest, Just block it and get on with your life.

Literally nobody backs up what they say with any decent reason. You only call it out when you don't already agree with it.
