"You are coming from an echo chamber (Reddit). You are more than welcome to not participate in this community, which I’m not sure why you’re here in the first place given that you are clearly not a conservative nor do you hold any(?) conservative views." @[email protected]
Seems pretty conservative to me.
"If you don't have conservative views, go away," "echo chambers are bad," same person...
I think anyone would be hard-pressed to say Reddit isn't a serious echo chamber with serious moderation issues.
Simply stating that someone that was spam posting and reporting posts on a conservative community may not be conservative and they're welcome to not participate there if the content bothers them that much in no way states my political alignment, which is admittedly somewhere centrist, which I believe puts me in the ideal position to be a moderator of both c/conservative and c/liberal, as I am not inherently incredibly biased towards one side or the other.
You guys really enjoy quoting me, but haven't quoted the most important and relevant thing I said for this post, which is that I am gay.
I have no agenda and have already passed ownership of c/conservative to someone else. The poster in question has been removed as a moderator as well. The only "moderation" I've done on c/conservative is un-removing comments that were removed by the other moderator for disagreeing with his posts, which IMO sounds like pretty good and fair moderation, no?
I have rejected 0 requests from people that have reached out to moderate any of the communities I am involved in, and quite frankly most of them besides 5-6 see 0 traffic.
I just took a look and.... yeah looks pretty conservative. huh. that's kinda rare to see.
