I see a lot more of that on .world communities, specifically the news and political memes communities will remove comments for "misinformation" even if you're citing academic works.
Citing some random paper doesn't make what your saying not disinformation.
From a formal logic perspective, your statement is true. But in real life, the more important distinction is not between "true" and "false", but between "purposefully deceptive and ungenuine disinformation" versus "outspoken dissenting viewpoint". And that is one that people are really bad at telling the difference between, especially if the viewpoint in particular is one that they hold very strongly.
Classically lemmy.world.
“Your peer reviewed academic studies are misinformation, do you not read the news ?”
Mazières, D., & Kohler, E. (2005). Get me off your fucking mailing list [PDF]. Accepted for publication in the International Journal of Advanced Computer Technology in 2014.
As they should
I've seen the "academic works" y'all cite, blog posts, YT videos, random books and retracted studies
So if we're not allowed to cite books, what exactly do you want?
Who is citing those? I've had liberals link hour long youtube essays and I just say "lol I'm not going to read that", but I've not noticed anyone on the left doing that.
If the .world admins are doing it too, it's also bad. Thankfully I didn't list a single .world community, although for another reason.
