Almost feel sorry for this guy, working so hard to create an echo chamber all by themselves.

That community should be renamed “links to the craziest and most unfounded shit I can find” but that doesn’t have the same ring as “conservative”

"Do you suffer from an increasing lack of Copium? Tired of being asked to take personal accountability or put critical thought into your opinions? Come to Conservative where it's always the Liberals' fault!"

“Do you believe everything you read or hear on a podcast? Want to skip the hassle of thinking for yourself and be told how to feel about issues that don’t directly affect you? If you’re angry with nowhere to direct that rage, come to Conservative!”

This post has been up two minutes and I think already has more positive votes than any other post here. That should say something

The dude has to be a troll. No one has this little self-awareness. (speaking of @Optionhome)

Edit: Seems like the dude had enough and migrated to conservatives only

[–] Hypersapien 54 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Have you taken a close look at conservative America lately?

[–] Izzent 32 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sadly yes. Thankfully only from far away as I live in Europe.

It depends…. But yeah, not much better… Europe is a few years behind and still going hard on neoliberalism, but the right is moving more and more to the right. And the “left” that has been winning ground is as fang-less and liberal as American Democrats. So yeah, we’re fucked as well. Only a few years behind lmao.

its gotta be. They've already had their own reddit replacement for years, no reason to come here other than to start a flame ware

You would think being alone would make for some good echoes

[–] aubertlone 30 points 1 year ago

Please just stay on reddit on your "echo chambers" lmao

[–] JarmenKell 24 points 1 year ago (5 children)

[–] havocpants 19 points 1 year ago

You can block users and there's a big red "Block Community" button at the top right.

Andy, on the other hand, is doing God's work.

[–] spicyjimmy87762 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We need an Andy for the MAGA one they just made as well

[–] BeMoreCareful 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Meta discussion - the existence of this post makes the wonder what moderation tools on lemmy are like? And if there's systems in place to deal with unwanted content.

https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/users/04-moderation.html

  1. Users report posts & comments
  2. Communities have mods
  3. Instances have admins
  4. Instances that disagree on how moderation should be done can block the other

Edit: Changed "unmoderated communities" to "unwanted content" to clarify my intent to discuss moderation in general

[–] shemmy 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

This community is moderated. We receive reports and will act on them if the reported content breaks the rules in the sidebar: there is no racism or bigotry, no personal insults, and u/stanleytweedle has not been spamming.

[–] TeeTwoLee 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oops, didn't mean to imply that the community wasn't moderated or that this post in particular was worthy of a ban. The post was slightly negative so it made me think about moderation. Thanks for your work!

[–] shemmy 10 points 1 year ago

I seem to have misunderstood your post too, lol.

And if there’s systems in place to deal with unmoderated communities.

This made me (incorrectly) assume the intent of your comment.

The moderation tools are pretty similar to most other platforms, as you neatly laid out.

“Believe everything you read or hear on a podcast? Like to be told how to feel about things that in no way affect you directly?”

[–] solivine 13 points 1 year ago

This and political compass memes

[–] xyzinferno 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I almost feel sorry for the users who think brigading other people's communities is a worthwhile use of their time, let alone making political discourse any healthier.
