I guess the issue is "getting a strike". Sure, if your posts are misinformation, why not add a label that says so.

But giving a strike? That's going too far and your case highlights why: you can't make a joke anymore.

A strike is stifling free speech whereas a label is just informative. It might be biased, it might not be, but it doesn't prevent you from expressing yourself, be it by making a joke or spreading accurate information or spreading ridiculous conspiracy theories.
