Banning the subs won’t make the 1% crazy go away. They’ll spread misinformation on other subs or create new subs in a constant game of wack-a-mole. Better to just let them have their quarantined echo chambers.

What kind of missinformation did they spread? Can someone define to me what happened?

Thank you!
