conservative
A community to discuss conservative politics and views.
Rules:
-
No racism or bigotry.
-
Be civil: disagreements happen, but that doesn't provide the right to personally insult others.
-
No spam posting.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don't cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
Shitposts and memes are allowed until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
-
No trolling.
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
Have you taken a close look at conservative America lately?
Sadly yes. Thankfully only from far away as I live in Europe.
Not far better either.
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
They’ve already had their own reddit replacement for years
but Stormfront pre-dates reddit
They probably meant Voat
lol. That Colbert Report header graphic.
Lol
You would think being alone would make for some good echoes
Please just stay on reddit on your "echo chambers" lmao
Do I really have to endure crazies here aswell?
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.
We need an Andy for the MAGA one they just made as well
There's a few angels sprinkles in there now lol
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
- Users report posts & comments
- Communities have mods
- Instances have admins
- 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
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.
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!
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?”
This and political compass memes
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.
