I really hope it's in good faith, cause if it is, that may be a slimmer of hope that conservatives can co-exist amongst LGBTQ+. I'm more of a centrist (no, that does not mean I play the both sides are equally bad or I play both sides, get that out of your heads) and I have a few conservative opinions. This does not mean I agree with the extremism of the U.S. conservatives pushing laws and misinformation to opress LGBTQ+ and other minorities. It's sickening.

MODERATORS
This is...worrisome. I hope it's just to flood the server with communities for people to explore and join, because I think being conservative is ideologically incompatible with the existance of LGBTQ people, since the conservatives are always trying to outlaw LGBTQ and/or lead to a possible genocide.
And for the ones who say "Well, I'm lgbtq but I'm conservatives". You may think that the conservatives accept you as one of the "Good ones" but no, it's only a matter of time before the conservatives come after you too. If you're trans, the conservatives will only see you as your AGAB and will eventually tell you to/force you to detransition. If you are gay, they will tolerate your existence only if you are in the closet and "don't behave like a gay".
As a little piece of history, one of Hitler's most trusted generals was Ernst Röhm, who was a gay man. Hitler defended him a lot when he was rising to power and there were rumors about his homosexuality. So you know how powerful Rohm was, he was the leader of the Storm Troopers.
But then he came out publically, and was no longer convenient to have him because hitler's fanbase would never accept an homosexual, that and combined that Hitler was trying to get rid of anyone who could challenge his power, made him arrest and then kill Rohm in the Night of the Long Knives.
So, you are entitled to have any ideology you want, but being "One of the good ones" is no way to live our life. Rohm was "one of the good ones" Blair White is also "one of the good ones" and she gets so much hate from the side she tries so hard to defend and justify.
Ignoring the whole.... thing.... is this something kbin has the ability to prevent? Is first-come-first-serve moderation baked into the platform, or do we have a way to democratize/decentralize moderating, recall moderators, etc.
Or do we just have to accept the inevitability of mediocre power mods?
The only way for owner of a magazine to step down, currently, is to elect someone else as co-mod and then leave. Users on any platform could always sub and post to other instances and leave the powermod holding his dick, but this kind of thing may need to be addressed in the future.
Not sure whether voting people in/out of mod powers is the way to go, as it leaves good mods hyper susceptible to takeover brigading. At the very least, some hard limits need to be the norm. Maybe restrict it to 10-12?? No one should need to mod 30 different things on any instance.
Can someone do like reddit did and like... make a TheRealLGBTQ+ community or something?
@Izzent Ever heard of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_conservatism ?
