Due to some confusion, the /Conservative mod team have decided to clarify rule 2. The actions taken will remain the same, this is a rewrite to hopefully clarify what rule 2 is, and what /Conservative is.
Rule 2 is “posts must be right wing, and comments can be of any political leaning.” This is to garner discussion, to bring to light stories and perspectives that may be absent in other communities. and to allow discussion on these stories and perspectives. Hopefully, that makes sense.
We’re rewriting Rule 2 to read:
Posts must be made from an (American) right-wing perspective. This does not include comments, be as lefty as you want in the comments. If you feel it’s unclear, please check Allside’s Media Bias Chart and feel free to message the mods if you have any questions. We reserve the right to make judgment calls.
If you think that this is unclear, please leave a comment below.
Given the amount of children who run Lemmy communities that will ban people for not being nice, ban someone using mean words, it sounds ike /Conservative is group that moderators will not listen to complaints about hurt feelings.
Does this mean I can say something ike men are losers and women are whackjobs?
No. Thats called sexism. Its bigotry. Falls under rule 1.
But to answer your thought, we are fairly lenient. Usually on borderline stuff, I’ll either let it go or issue a warning. Even on clear cut stuff, I’ll usually only give out 1 day or 1 week bans.
Maybe its a little too lenient, but I’d rather too lenient than too strict.
