A community to discuss conservative politics and views.

Rules:

  1. No racism or bigotry.

  2. Be civil: disagreements happen, but that doesn't provide the right to personally insult others.

  3. No spam posting.

  4. Submission headline should match the article title (don't cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  5. Shitposts and memes are allowed until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.

  6. No trolling.

There should be some moderators looking after this community.

The sidebar should be filled with at least a description of what this is for, and some basic rules. Also posts/comments that are off-topic or break server/community rules should be removed. I think 3 mods to start would be OK, they can appoint more mods if needed.

If we can't find moderatos, we'll have to close this community.

I just woke up to this drama. This whole site is going through some growing pains. It's hard to establish a "niche" for this place when within 48 hours the place is getting brigaded by people who are clearly just upset that the community exists at all.

I'd prefer to not take a heavy-handed moderating approach. I don't want to create an echo chamber, so as long as posts are on-topic and comments are civil, I'm happy. That shouldn't be controversial. If Lemmy is the kind of place where moderators are expected to ban any users who disagree with them and site admins hand-select mods or shut down any community that slightly upsets users, then it's no different than Reddit.
