Got roasted for saying homeopathy was bunk, then found out the science backs me up

I posted on a wellness forum that homeopathy is basically sugar pills and water, and got banned within an hour. Turns out there have been multiple studies showing it works no better than placebo, like a 2015 Australian review that looked at 57 trials. The mods didn't care about the evidence, they just wanted to silence anyone questioning their miracle cures. Has anyone else been kicked off a health group for citing actual research?

57 studies and they still banned you? That's insane.

Right?? I got banned from a similar platform with 43 peer-reviewed papers backing my claims. They literally said "the body of evidence wasn't compelling enough" while letting full-blown pseudoscience run wild. Makes you wonder if they even read the studies, or just looked at the abstracts and made up their minds.

Tbh @the_piper I once got banned from a gardening forum for posting a picture of my wilted basil. 43 peer reviewed papers is impressive though, I can barely get through a Reddit thread without needing a nap.
